Reply:THe thing is that you have to go all the way through and get a phd to make any amount of money. It helps if you have an md as well, which is even more school. Or if not an md, an rn will raise your salary significantly as well.
Reply:not enough... why not become a psychiatrist? a lot of the same info, but you get an MD instead of a phD and get to hand out fun drugs :)

Reply:Psychologists are employed by hospitals, schools, universities, government agencies, and correctional facilities. In the private sector, they work as researchers or consultants for large businesses. About one third of psychologists are self-employed (usually in private group practices) and a large number work part-time.





Earning vary widely depending on the employer, education level, experience, and the area of psychology practiced. School psychologists employed by public school boards earn between $50,000 and $80,000 a year, with the higher salaries going to those with PhDs.





Clinical psychologists working on a part-time basis often earn between $30 and $45 an hour. Those working full-time in hospitals can earn $65,000 to 95,000 a year.





To research and teach psychology at a university you need a PhD. Average starting salaries for psychology professors range from $40,000 to $50,000 a year. By mid-career they make between $60,000 and $80,000 a year; after many years in the field, they earn between $80,000 and $100,000 a year.





Exact earnings information for other types of psychologists is not available. However, the average income for all full-time psychologists in Canada is around $56,000 a year. Earnings can range from $30,000 (particularly for those who are self-employed and just starting out) to well over $100,000 a year.
