<p>I'm looking to the future where I will likely be applying to grad school for speech pathology. Many qualities they look for in applicants are work experience and volunteer experience. I am working as a pca right now, but have a position for reading corps (americorps) lined up as an elementary literacy tutor and a volunteer position lined up as a activity mentor for an elementary school. I'm concerned about quitting my pca job because I feel as though programs will see the americorps job as volunteer work, because it is not no a job. Any opinions or insight?</p>
