I am at the point in my college career where I have to make this decision… I am currently a Childhood Ed. major with a concentration in Lang. and Cognition. From there I could go on to get my masters in literacy. OR should I become a speech pathology major now and do a concentration in education? Which job has more openings now (I live on Long Island) and which has more room for advancement? Any advice will help! Thanks!
