[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did it. I went back and got a PhD in clinical psychology after working 12 years in law. Now I'm a psychologist.

No regrets at all -- I love what I do now. I will say, though, that I had the support of my DH and didn't have any law school debt when I made the change. But I was in grad school a LONG time -- from start to finish my career change took 7 years. But that's how it is when you get a doctorate. An MPH is a much shorter process.

Anyway, a career change isn't something to do lightly but I'm personally so glad I did it. I never really loved law, even though it provided a nice living.[/quote]

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I'm a lawyer considering this very career switch (to clinical psychology) and would love to talk to someone who is on the other side of this transition. Would you mind discussing this, either in another thread or via email??[/quote]

Hi. I'm happy to talk to you about it. I'm a little uncomfortable posting my email on here. Is there another way?[/quote]

I agree, don't want to post my email here either. I just made a quick gmail address that we can use, and I can send my real email from there. It's lawyer.to.psych@gmail.com ... thanks for being willing to tell me about it! (Or I could just start another thread to discuss it here, but email seems better, no?)[/quote]

I just made one too. I will email you at the above address.[/quote]
