Weekly Career Profile: Audiologist
Audiologists work with people who have ear problems, including hearing and balance difficulties. If you want to become an audiologist you will have to earn a doctoral degree in audiology (Au.D.). This is not yet a nationwide requirement in the U.S., but it is expected to be shortly. So far, 18 states require an Au.D. for licensure. Having this advanced degree will also increase your chances of finding employment in this relatively small field. In spite of predicting greater than average growth in employment through 2018, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says there won't be many job openings. If you live in, or are willing to move to, an area with an older population, your job prospects will be better (Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010-11 Edition).
