Communication true love & Studies/Speech Communication and Rhetoric

<p>I'll tell you the truth- I just spent my entire spring break on the USC forum. I am now 100% convinced that USC is the best school on the face of the planet, and that fate has brought me to CC to meet my true love..USC. </p>

<p>But all corniness aside..I want to become a speech-language pathologist in the future, and I was hoping that some of you trojans (especially those in the major) could answer a few of my questions.</p>

<p>1) Is USC considered good for this particular major? I was looking around for a ranking system for particular majors, but there only seems to be ones for the really "big" majors like business.
2) Are there grad programs for speech-language pathologists? How many years of education in the major would be recommended?
3) My dream is to attend USC & become a successful speech pathologist. I realize that the profession isn't necessarily a high-income kinda thing, and I'm good with that. But how much would the average speech-language pathologist from USC earn? Would we be respected in the field? </p>

<p>Sorry for the big fat block of text we have here :) thanks in advance!</p>
