Answer 1

I believe you need a Masters in Psychology. You can get that with a Bachelors in anything, but it would be easier if you majored in Psychoogy in your Undergraduate work (4 years of basic college is called undergraduate work). A related Field that wold make you better would be to major in Social Work in the first 4 years and then go for the a Masters in Psychoogy for the "graduate work" which is the "Masters Program" part.  You can do more things if you add 1 more year on the get licensed so you could have ore options, you could practice psychology independantly that way or work for a school system. With a license you can get any job. Look online at the college you want or like and look at the degrees offered.
