Psychologists please.?

Question

What does it take to be a psychologist?

I'm a freshman in high school.

What classes should I take now?

How many years of college do I need? (I know its a minimum of 4 years)

What classes should I take in college?

I want to be paid a lot, and I know that takes extra years of college, how many?

What are some REALLY good schools that would be good to go to?

Answer 1

psychology is a great field and is very rewarding!!  To get a good job in psychology you need to obtain your PhD or PsyD.  In order to make great money you may need to specialize in a certain area.  I myself am pursuing Neuropsychology.  This will pay you 140 a year at least!  Just take your time in school and talk to your career counselors.  Lots of science classes for the first couple years are in your best nature.  Go to www.apa.org and look for schools that are good for psychology.  Hope you found this rewarding.

Answer 2

Sorry I can't answer all of these but I can answer some.

What does it take to be a psychologist? - patience, interest in people, understanding and want to help

What classes should I take now? - psychology and biology

What classes should I take in college? - same as above but not so broad, for example in psychology you would take classed in mental health, social psychology etc. to get a broader understanding

Answer 3

If you want to get paid "a lot" then do not go into psychology.

You will need to take psychology classes in college, from psychology 101 to biological psychology, abnormal psychology, sociology..ext ext.

You will need a Ph.D in Psychology which requires more than 4 years.

and what you want to do with a psychology

degree depends how much school you will be having.  There are many things you can do and study on for psychology.

I can't say anything about school, that just depends where you live.
