According to the website About.com some jobs offered for a person with a Bachelor’s degree in psychology are case management, career counselor, rehabilitation specialist, and psychiatric technician; none of which I really wanted to do. This told me I would have to be in school longer than four years, but how long; is what I was curious to know. So, I looked some more. Not until I achieve at least a Master’s degree will I be able to actually help people like I want. Then the only job offered according to payscale.com is a mental health counselor. Since I wanted more options I did a little more digging and found that in order to really have a good set of options I would have to achieve my Doctorate Degree (PHD). There are two degrees I am interested in and am still trying to decide which I want to do, or if I want to do both. There is the PHD in clinical psychology and the PHD in Counseling
