PMS Elle's Good News
« on: June 02, 2007, 08:31:43 AM »
OK, I've been putting off posting this forever because I've been kind of superstitious (as well as lazy) about it, like I might made it untrue by posting it, but: I am accepted to the school I just got my B.S. from for the MA in psychology program in the fall. I've actually known since the interview. Two of the professors (one of whom has had me in two of her classes; the other had "heard of" me) asked me some questions and I answered as best I could, and they asked if I had any questions, and I asked when I could expect to know if I was in or not.  They said, "That's a fair question" and asked me to leave the room. Two minutes later they asked me back in and said: "You're in."

:)

This school is indeed my school of choice, and has been all along. It's not only a good education (it meets licensure requirements which is dirt cheap for a Master's program), but it feels like home. I don't know how else to explain it. I've never lived in one place very long; never made and kept a social network this long; never loved a place like I love this school.

Three more years there, and then I'll (hopefully) be out in the world, making a living and a life for myself as an LMHC (once I've completed the necessary post-grad certification process). As I said in the interview, I don't have delusions of changing the world, but I'd like to do some good in it, and change some people's lives for the better. I think that's a reasonable goal. I'm certain that the job will be demanding, and I'm certain that there will be times when I feel pretty unsure of myself and my decision. I know I won't be able to help every client who comes my way, and I know that's going to be hard for me. However, I also think it will ultimately give me the kind of happiness that comes from doing what you know is right for you to be doing.

So when I'm waving in the direction of Springfield as I'm turning onto the mass pike 6/29, you'll still be able to feel the breeze of my congratulatory wave. :P

Kinda like a psychologist, but less pay.  :D  It would qualify me to do therapy with clients.

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

Are you considering the PhD at all?

Maybe sometime far down the road, but honestly, all that would really add as far as qualifications would be allowing me to teach in a university, which does NOT appeal.  It's also ghastly expensive, even if it does up the pay- it's a trade-off.  Besides which, getting into a clinical ph.D. program is like trying to get into med school, so there's no way I'd get into such a program any time soon, with no experience wokring in the field.
