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.

I think I would like to be one because I like to play soccer and Why not train one. It will be cool to maybe train a person who can later succeed higher in a sport. If I were to become one I would train soccer players.
