Why speech therapy? Do you really want it or are you just going with what everyone has told you is “suitable” for a frum girl? Same for all the other “remedial” careers. There are lots of other kinds of jobs out there. Health care technicians, for example, are in demand. Same for certain types of IT.
If you were my daughter I would advise you to go to a professional career counselor and be tested for your aptitudes/abilities and general preferences. The counselor can then advise you on which jobs you would be successful and which jobs will be in demand. Above all, don’t go to a frum counselor – he/she will just stick you right back in the box. You can explain what your halachic requirements are, and check with your rabbinic advisor as to what is suitable.
Above all, THINK FOR YOURSELF. Don’t let Yenem (“everybody else”)tell you what to do. Check with your Rabbi -and only your Rabbi) if there’s a question, and don’t listen to everybody who comes along.
