Subject : Re: Actual Audiologists Salary and Income posted by AudBall on Thu Oct 18, 2007 3:02 am |
| About 15 years a go, audiologist out of college were expected to work for free for the first 9-12 months duiring their CFY time. Imagine the costs mounting during that time. Then the concept of a "living wage" was created, and audiologist like AudiTT and many others earned around 30K for a while... up until they get fed up and leave for more money. Many outfits are content on running a revolving door, hireing saplings, milking them for their degrees, licenses etc, then they get fed up and go to another location.... and the process starts over again. There is rarely a carrer ladder, so one can not rely on increased income over time etc. Audiology on paper is really a dismal carrer when the reality sets in. It is a allied medical proffession that has been in exsistance longer than many other allied medical proffessions that have been recognized by third party payment systms ie insurance etc. Audiology has been stuck in a rut since its inception. If anyone has been hood winked it is the audiologist.... is there a 30 day return policy on their education? Nope I don't think so. I feel for the folks struggling now, to pay off their 100K tution dept with the funds generated from the tip jar. I could go on, but why bother. |
