Where this comes from

SLP Transitions research file (documented SLP transitions, 2025–2026). Timelines of 6–15 months; path salary bands; the CAPM and $20k quotes.

SLP Transitions voice-of-customer corpus (reader mail, forum threads). The five stages; the recurring themes: degree grief, identity fusion, fear of the bottom rung.

Voice-of-customer corpus, forums (Sept 2026): 101 threads on r/slp, r/SLPcareertransitions, r/careerguidance, Mumsnet, blog comments. Quotes are verbatim and short; usernames removed. Money and 'what else can I do' are the two most common worries; loans/PSLF is the loudest unmet one.
