Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?
I don't think I would like to be an audiologist because its not what I would like to do in my future even though you get paid really well I wouldn't like to be one. I would want to be something else and study music instead being a doctor of something doesn't really interest me much.
