Is Audiology a good career to go into?
Hi! Im about to be a freshman in college and I plan on majoring in CSD and becoming an Audiologist in the long run. I feel very passionate about it and I am excited for it!
However recently I’ve been overthinking it and having doubts if it’s the right career I want to go into. I have heard the pay isn’t great for the amount of school it requires and I really don’t want to become a “hearing aid salesperson”. I am super interested in patient interaction and I would love to work in a medical/clinical setting. Is this achievable with audiology? What would be the best thing to specialize in to achieve the more clinical feeling with patient interaction?
I guess I just want to ask actual Audiologists on here if you love your career and if you think it’s worth it etc etc. I would love to hear first hand accounts from anyone in the audiology field (whether an AuD student or a practicing Audiologist) about your job and experiences and stuff!!
