I will be completing my Au.D. this summer and I'm a bit lost as to what direction to take next. Many of my professors and supervisors have suggested I go on to complete a Ph.D, given the expected shortage of audiology researchers and professors. However I'm a bit hesitant, mostly due to the significant time and commitment required for successfully completing the degree. It seems daunting to sign up for another 3-4 years of school after already completing a lengthy graduate program. At the same time, I realize there would be many benefits and opportunities for an individual with both Au.D. and Ph.D degrees. Despite a lot of encouragement, I am quite on the fence about what to do. I'm not looking for anyone to make the decision for me, but I was wondering if anyone had some thoughts, insights, advice, etc., that might be helpful in my decision making. Thanks!
