Child Life Specialist

Money & Outlook

Insider Info

Renee O'Neal is the president of the Florida Association of Child Life Professionals. According to O'Neal, child life specialists are most likely to find work at hospitals in larger cities.

However, opportunities are increasing outside of the hospital. "Child life is a relatively new profession when you compare it to nursing and physicians and we are continuing to branch out outside of the hospital, working in dental offices and outpatient clinics," says O'Neal.

This isn't a career that will make you rich. In order to attain the highest salary possible, you'll want to look for work in larger hospitals.

Earnings and employment information from the U.S. Department of Labor is not available for this field at this time.
