Hi everyone, I'm about to graduate from college with a BA in psychology and a BS in cognitive science, and i'm considering the following career options....any input here would be extremely helpful!1. Clinical psychologist: A clinical psychologist gets a PHD, but getting into the programs for this is more competetive than med school. Its an extremely versatile and highly regarded degree that allows one to do anything from counseling to research to teaching. Specializations include youth, drug/alcohol, elders, neuropsychology and many others. 2.Therapist: A therapist these days usually gets a PSY D and receives some of the training a clinical psychologist gets, but does not do research. A PSY D usually becomes a therapist but can do many differnet types of therapy on many differt groups. 3. Naturopathic Doctor: There are only 4 accredited schools for this in the US, 1 in Ontario Canada (Pix  ), anyway these are trained like medical school doctors for the first 2 years, then learn all kinds of eastern/natural techniques, are trained in chi, accupuncutre, reiki, and all that other great stuff.
All of these sound like possibilities to me, I know I want to heal, I m'just not sure which area to go into yet??
Any advice would be welcome! Heres my birthtime if anyones feelings REALLY generous:

Can you do 1 and then 3 later. I would pick the highest level. You can always do a lesser type of work later on if you decide. Aim High is what I am saying.IP: Logged |
