Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) - (City withheld for privacy), Texas, United States
You're only worth what someone is willing to pay. That being said, SLP's are extremely hard to come by right now....especially in home health. Make sure you are getting paid what you are worth. I contract with different home health agencies and average $100/visit. How? Because I asked for it and they needed the service I offered. You should do the same with your next job quest!
