[quote=Anonymous]I left my career in another field and did a Masters in Clinical Psychology. I really enjoyed it.

When I finished my Masters, I looked into the PhD and PsyD as next steps. The problem became money.

I was already in debt from my Masters degree. The PhD programs would have required me to move outside the DMV area to attend their programs. The PhD programs here are very competitive and keep in mind that in a PhD program you are often given a stipend of like $14k per year to live on - that goes no where in this area.

I looked into the PsyD programs as an alternative but they are SO expensive and I was just not willing to rack up any more debt. You also don't really make a ton of money in the psych field - so consider that when you're racking up school debt.

I ended up going through all of that and had to go back into my former career. I loved what I learned in my grad program and in the research jobs I had during that time, I'm sad that I can't really use that knowledge now.[/quote]
