Question

How much money do psychologist and sociologist make?

Answer 1

apa.org    Click on salary info.....different types of psychologists listed by degree.  You need a graduate degree to practice psychology.,...higher the degree more the money, (master's vs. doctorate)  (college psych professor)

Answer 2

There are several different kinds of Psychologists. I'm a Clinical Psychologist. I spent 11 years in school and have four degrees, of which two are post-graduate. It's an expensive and time consuming task- becoming a Psychologist. I make good money, however, if you plan on having a private practice, keep in mind that counseling is often the first thing people drop when times get rough financially. Plan ahead for famine times and don't think that just because  you have advanced degrees that it will always be feast time...not so. Go into the field because you love others and want to help. If you plan to get rich, perhaps you should look elsewhere for a career in business or management...the world of Psychology is very rewarding to work in, and you can make a good living at it...but if you want to be wealthy choose another profession.

Answer 3

Are you talking about a clinical psychologist? An academic/researcher? Or just someone with a BA in psychology or sociology?

If you want to make any real money in psychology or sociology, you're going to need graduate degrees, or at least specialist degrees. To get work in either of these areas with only a BA is VERY rare (and pay is very low).

Answer 4

Psychologist is a rewarding carrer because u can advice other ppl whi have mentally problem..but to be at safe side, usually  we choose for the more secure job where the demand is high.

pschologist is not a high demanding job.

social science is the field where u can simply throw common sense away. you will not earn much in social science and it is not a professional course.

This is wat i heard from many ppl and seniors.

if not agree with me, pls correct me.
