Job shadowing is a great idea. In some states SLP is offered in two year cycles so it is possible you may need to wait a year before you start. I think it takes two years or so. There is some science and if you are not good at learning parts of the body then it may be a challenge for you. People who care and want to help children speak better. It is a challenging degree.
