What general advice would you give to a Diabetes Sales Specialist?
Dr. John Hansen: Regarding the third question, the only real way to maximize your salary in sales is to perform well against the success metrics in place in your role. Sales is, for the most part, an outcome-based profession, meaning that pay increases (or decreases) based on outcomes attained. Whatever the success metrics are in the position one is currently in, they will maximize their income to the extent that they perform well in relation to these success metrics.

How would you rate the starting salaries for Diabetes Sales Specialists, as well as the prospects for salary advancement?
Dr. Kate Seltzer Ph.D.: Educators are not paid nearly enough. However, working in a state with strong teachers' unions helps to ensure a starting salary that recent graduates can live off of and growth opportunities, albeit modest, over their careers.

What type of skills will young Diabetes Sales Specialists need?
Elisha Blankson: Graduates will need a skill set about the field in which they received training and additional skills useful to the job market. For example, with the changing demographics in the United States, extra skills in information technology and foreign languages will be a plus when entering the job market.
Will there be an increase or decrease in demand for Diabetes Sales Specialists in the next 5 years?
Julie Dalessio: The Bureau of Labor Statistics continues to project national job growth in speech-language pathology (SLP) and audiology. SLP jobs are expected to increase by 25% from 2019 through 2029. Audiology jobs are expected to increase by 13% from 2019 through 2029.
In WA specifically, there are currently shortages of SLPs in the public schools, with more openings than qualified clinical professionals. U.S. Census indicates the number of special education services is disproportionate to the number of SLPs currently available.
Demand for speech and hearing professionals is rising across the U.S. for several reasons:
-Due to medical technology and early intervention efforts, we are identifying and treating children with communication disorders earlier and more accurately. More children are entering schools with communication assessment and treatment services.
-Due to advances in medicine, we see adults living longer and experiencing health conditions that result in communication disorders.
-Lastly, SLPs are retiring faster than they can be replaced, given the client/patient growth and a limited number of students graduating each year from accredited program
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for Diabetes Sales Specialists to find work opportunities?
Donna Kukarola: This one, not so sure of, the southeast continues to see options as well as mid-western states.
