There is a great need for Speech Pathologists in general. Getting the degree will open up many more opportunities than just specifically accent reduction.

Har!). I kid you not. Creative perfumery is a great career, but its also a highly competitive, incredibly neurotic industry. Worse than television, I would guess. Independent perfumers can get away with some really cool stuff, but getting your name out there can be hard. Actually, the sizzling burger scent was already done (but not well-done. Har!).

That would be much more entertaining that actually _reducing_ their accent. I’d like to teach people to talk like Groundskeeper Willie on the Simpsons.

There's a big demand of English as a second language teachers, not only here in the US, but also in Mexico (according to a friend of mine from Mexico City). It would only make sense that some bigger money can be made in the more specialized areas of the field. Accent Reduction Specialist sounds like it’s for real.

He could not only help people eliminate accents, he could teach you new ones. I could do data mining but I much more enjoy analyzing the data than finding it.
