or anyone who wants to try and help me Smile

I am applying to two post graduate university courses in speech and language therapy. I sent off my personal statement and the entire application but today I got this email saying they want me to answer 3 more questions and send it back to them. the first 2 I kind of have a good answer but number 3 I was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas of what to say - the question is "What are some of the negative aspects of being a speech therapist?"
G-d knows why they are asking this but anyway, I can't think of any, can anyone help? that's the entire question.

I'm not a speech therapist

maybe (if you work with children), their parents can become very annoying and harassing over you. they are very concerned, protective of their children and hold you very responsible for their progression (or lack of)

Probably they want to see if you have a realistic idea of what the stresses of the job can be like.

Having worked as an itinerant educator, some of the concerns I might foresee for a speech therapist include:

size of case load
time management
serving a wide range of ages with diverse treatment needs.
paper work
keeping up on current developments in the field after leaving school

You should indicate in your response the problems you can imagine & how you would deal with them as a competent professional.
