But its incredibly true. If you set your goals low then all you'll be is low. You work toward what your passionate about. You will thank me after you've lived a great life of doing things that you wanted to do. You'll find a way through sticky situations, or maybe even adapt and overcome. To answer your question OP: Speech Pathology would be the perfect job. You get to work with children and adults that suffer the same as you. Having that connection and understanding with people is big. Not to mention you'll get to learn techniques that help your own self with speech. Also, I'm not sure if you're male or female, but the market is more female saturated than nursing. If you're a male, you'd be a shoo\-in at any speech clinic mainly for diversity.
