I always read the therapy article in the Family First and the woman who writes it is a speech therapist but seems to do a lot of what a language arts teacher does. Where I live a major dyslexia clinic is staffed and run by speech therapists. Maybe this the type of work you would find more interesting?
I know for my own kid when we wanted to get him help with his social skills we were told we can use a SLP or a talk therapist. If that is another interest of yours.

Are there artsy professions where people earn money, that arent crazy competitive?

I could do that instead of dysphagia and feeding. I like the idea of newborn feeding.... I dunno! I wish I could leave the job and be a teacher. Is it normal to be upset with career of choice? Do you ladies believe you need to love what you do?I just view it as a job... |
Hi, OP.
No, you don't have to love what you do (that's why its called work!)...BUT
Please, on behalf of mothers whose little kids desperately need your services, whose kids will not succeed and mainstream without your hard work, either do a wholehearted, good job or leave the field regardless of your kollel husband's earning power.
(My daughter's life and future is dependent on the services she's getting now as a preschooler. We've had therapists who were basically pushing paper, cutting minutes off both ends of her sessions, unavailable to collaborate with others, and basically just there for the paycheck. And its hard on everyone to have to complain and make that switch. And if thats how someone is spending their day, they cant possibly feel happy and fulfilled.)

I don't think there is any job that is never repetitive, the important thing is to enjoy what you're doing. |
Chances are, what makes you enjoy your job is the way the bosses treat you, and the way the coworkers get along (or youre just a very flexible person and would like working anywhere).
Thats a Mazel thing.

This! I'm not an SLP, I'm another therapist, but rather than burnt-out, I often feel disillusioned. Many times, I'm not sure I believe my field is really helping my clients in the setting where I work, and I feel like it's full of gray areas. But most of all, I just don't like my job. Sure, there are aspects that keep me there: benefts (not salary), smaller caseload (because of attending so many meetings), somewhat of a school schedule; but there are many more that make me want to leave: primarily - horrible supervisor, frustrated colleagues (because of the supervisor), non-Jewish atmosphere, very challenging population, poor salary, hours/distance, and I could just keep going.
The problem is that I don't know of an alternative that would better suit my wants, so I'm very reluctant to switch jobs. At my old job, I worked for a frum person, which had its pros and cons, but my favorite part was feeling as one of the "chevra" and making friends at work. In my current place, I'm the only frum person, and appropriately, feel very isolated. I remember at my old job, a part-time coworker, who also worked in public schools, said she loved being able to say "gutten chodesh" at work... I get that now.
All that being said, while I'm frustrated professionally, I really do try to throw myself all the way in and do best by my clients.

You can take training in floortime and do more of a play therapy sort of session. I pay a lot for such a (priate) session.
