Hey,
I'm in the US as an exchange student for only one more week. My stay here definitely helped me settle my future career and I'm pretty sure I wanna work in the wide field that is Psychology. I still got 2 years until I even graduate so I do have some time.
Now the thing is I'd love to work and live in the USA but going to college for the whole enchilada is just way too expensive (Bachelor's+Master's+licenses = easily 200,000 $, from what I heard). Plus, I'm not really a resident of any state and not a citizen at all so tuition will be too much and getting scholarships gets harder too. My plan therefore is to get my Bachelor's Degree in Germany, then go to a US college to obtain the Master's Degree.
My questions are: what jobs could I possibly get with only a Master's degree? How long does it take to get a master's degree? If I wanted to become a psychotherapist, lead my own practice and such (which would be my dream) what else do I have to do upon completion of college? Or how about just being a professor. I know I'd have to get a doctorate. How much time does that take?
It's a good amount of questions, but I just wanna take charge in planning out my future. Thanks for answering!
