Psychologist

(“Psychologist”) In order for me to attain this dream I must get a Bachelor of Arts, a Masters Degree in psychology and possibly a Doctorate’s Degree in psychology depending on what kind of institution I would like to work in. I I will either receive a Ph. D. in psychology or a Doctor of Psychology (Psy. D.) degree and if I do, I will be able to work as a clinical, counseling or research psychologist.
