[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp...what do u do that makes well over 6 figures?  PhD psych here who would strongly advise against any doctoral psych program.  I always encourage people to go for the LCSW instead.   I consider myself extremely lucky to have attended a fully funded grad program and broke six figures after a decade in the field.  There is no need to attend a 5 plus year program unless you are hoping to go into research/academia and the academic positions are extremely competitive and they are farming everything out to adjuncts these days...and you would need the PhD anyways for these jobs..  Don't go into debt for a moderately paying degree[/quote]

PP here that attended Argosy and makes over 100k. I began in forensic practice (evals), for which one does need a doctoral degree and not necessarily a PhD. Psychological evaluation is really the only thing I can think of that one would need a doctoral degree (PsyD or PhD). Otherwise, I would only recommend a Masters level degree. Now, I work for a Fed Agency doing various clinical and consultative tasks. I've been there 3 years and make 125k. 5 years experience before I got there. Promotion potential up to about 160k, thoughthat will take some time. From what I've experienced, the Feds only hire doctoral degrees (with APA accredited internships). [/quote]
