In the U.S., one is required to obtain either a Ph.D. or a Psy.D to become a clinical psychologist, and can expect a salary of around $75,000/yr... the shortage of psychiatrists is probably not a function of insufficient psych majors.
- WildUtah 10y agoTO be more specific, a US college psychology major neither trains nor qualifies one for any job whatsoever in the psychiatric care field. Neither is such a major helpful in gaining admission to a trade school where one can learn to be qualified for such a profession. Psychology is simply the default major for many students that have no specific interest in studies.
