[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe not exactly a "prestige job" but highly respected:

Staff Psychologist within the counseling center of an elite University. The work is very rewarding. Everyone has an advanced level degree, in most cases a doctorate. Looks great on a resume. Pay is crap, though. Salaries start at 40-60k and rarely climb above $80k.The saving grace is that the hours typically aren't bad so many of us supplement with private practice.[/quote]

How is this highly respected, exactly? I work at a university and I don't even have a clue how many/who the counselors are.

I think it may be respected in your circle, but that's not at all a "prestige" job. [/quote]

Um, okay. I didn't say it was a prestige job. I guess I naively assumed that a job requiring a PhD that entails years of clinical training would be highly respected. Guess you told me otherwise. Good to know.[/quote]

I'm a psychologist (PhD), too, and thanks to the APA, respect for the profession has really eroded.  [b]And it's hard to argue with that when anyone can become a "psychologist." [/b] [/quote]

Really? Anyone can become a psychologist? Not to derail this thread but that's hardly true. But thanks for undermining the profession even further with hyperbolic generalities.[/quote]

Are you also the "Um, okay," poster?  If so, you really come off like a jerk with a chip on your shoulder.[/quote]
