Jobs........?
This is the second time you have mentioned the salary as your motivation for learning about a particular job.





While it is important to be able to earn a living, at the end of the day job satisfaction is what gets you through the working day - you really have to like what you do. So there's no point in thinking only of the salary - if you are not happy in your job, you'll just find ways to avoid going to work, have more sick days, and basically just end up feeling demotivated and disillusioned.





I suggest doing something that really interests you, rather than looking at how much you can earn. If you're really into your job, you'll do much better at it, and do well in your career.





I know this is not answering your question, but having worked for 18 years at various jobs, I think I am speaking from experience.
Reply:You spelt psychologist wrong. No worrys.





It varies - depending on location, experience, education, etc.





According to http://www.apa.org/monitor/mar00/facts.h... about $60,000 - $80,000+ - information is almost six years old though.





According to http://swz.salary.com/salarywizard/layou... generally $65,000 - $85,000





According to http://www.bls.gov/k12/social04.htm $1138,000 - $1165,000





If you want to be a psychologist you will need to take these in college: education and training, A doctoral degree (generally requires 5 to 7 years of graduate study), a specialist degree, people with a master's degree in psychology may work as industrial-organizational psychologists, competition for admission to graduate psychology programs is keen, a bachelor's degree in psychology, licensure but remember psychologists can improve their advancement opportunities by earning an advanced degree and by participation in continuing education. Many psychologists opt to start their own practice after gaining experience working in the field.





Sorry if this doesn't help.

Education Level:





Education training and experience are required at different levels for success in different occupations.





First professional degree





Formal education and training requirements for physicians are among the most demanding of any occupation: four years of undergraduate school, four years of medical school, and three to eight years of internship and residency, depending on the specialty selected. A few medical schools offer combined undergraduate and medical school programs that last six rather than the customary eight years. The minimum educational requirement for entry into a medical school is three years of college. Most applicants, however, have at least a bachelor's degree, and many have advanced degrees. All states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories license physicians. To be licensed, physicians must graduate from an accredited medical school, pass a licensing examination, and complete one to seven years of graduate medical education.





Extra Requirements


Physicians are required to be licensed by each state. Voluntary certification is available from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) and the American Board of Adolescent Psychiatry (ABAP).
