Q: im about to graduate high school.
i am looking to go into a career in psychology.
probably as a school psychologist or guidance counselor.
my question is how much money am i going to make as a school psychologist?

also, are there any good colleges for me to go to to get my degree in the new york city or new jersey area?
any information would be appreciated.
thank you.
Uhum..yeah that was my major. You really need to love this job, because as a school counselor you won't become a millionaire by far (but the time off and benefits aren't shabby). I would think that the median wage is about 40K a year.

If our looking to make a lot of money in this field, you would need to get your PHD = many years of college; and go into private practice.

I'm down south, so I can't help you with the second half of your question.

thankss :)

I'm a 36 year old mom who has too much life experience. I realize that, no matter your age, life throws some crazy curve balls at you when you least expect it. I know in my heart that absolutely no one is perfect..and we all make wrong decisions at one time or another; and sometimes we just need someone to help us out without being judgmental! Furthermore, I think that the only stupid question is the one that you don't ask...knowledge is power.

One of my favorite sayings:
"If you live in a glass house, don't throw stones."

Well folks, we ALL live in glass houses at one time or another!

Never say never,
