What does it take to be a psychologist?

Question

I'm barely a freshman in high-school, but I can't find anything I'd rather do than be a psychologist. I'm curious as to what would look good on my college application, what the best schools are for this kind of career choice, and what I have to do to achieve the goal of becoming one. I'd also like to know anything you can tell me about this career, or if you think it's a good choice and if you earn enough money... etc.

I'm a female, and I know people are trying to get women into science, I'm not really sure exactly what they do, but I do know that they support women going into science. Well, just tell me what you think. Thank you!

Answer 2

First, a Bachelor's Degree in Psy - Then a Masters. then a PhD -

But please stay away from these studies - Most psychologistt are quacks - If you are interested in the " mind " study Psychiatry - If you feel that you need to help, How about Behavioral Psy and work in a school as a counselor for children ? - Master children counseling - Pay is not that bad but you will never get rich and our children, now days, certainly need counseling that most do no get at home - -
