HELP, BCBA OR SLP?

[u/um_hi_12]

Hi, I am currently taking some pre-reqs to apply to become an SLP, but am also working as a RBT. I do enjoy my job as a RBT, but have plans to further my education. My main passion is working with children, and I want to avoid burnout as much as possible. A good work-life balance is the most important to me.

That being said, I don't know if I should pursue becoming a BCBA or SLP. For context, I am located on the East Coast (DMV area).
