There is one professional job that is seriously short staffed right now. If you know anyone in college and trying to figure it out, this can be quite lucrative.

With a rate of job growth that's among the fastest in the country, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have become some of America's most in-demand clinicians. However, they are also some of the most scarce for high-need facilities in 2024, including schools and post-acute care.May 9, 2024

The main reason for the shortage is an increase of services needed and shortage of programs to actually get your degree.

My wife wasn't feeling the Business Major when in college and switched, very good decision. She graduated in 1992 with a Master's. Her first job paid $800/month, didn't even cover school loans. It didn't take her long to switch to the medical side and has made good money ever since. 2020 was her last full time job with a pay and benefits package North of $150k. They are paying even more now and the headhunters call on a regular basis. She is coasting for another year till 62, working 20 hours a week at a Charter School. I suspect she will continue to maybe do teletherapy online, the woman just can't sit still!!!

Keep trying with the options, scared money never wins. Just know your limits.

That's a great change of plans! Maybe she wasn't "feeling the major" because there are no jobs after getting that BM degree   

Sometimes it's subconscious
