So, what does one need to be a practicing
psychologist? I thought that was the qualification.

I'm not sure what exactly you're asking.  You can practice without the Ph.D or Psy.D, but you need a doctorate to actually call yourself a psychologist.  There are quite a few non-doctoral degrees out there that can do clinical-type work, including the MA in psychology, and the Master's of Social Work (which is very marketable, but doesn't appeal to me at all).  Even with the B.S. in psychology, I could probably get some kind of job in the field; however, it would probably not be the type of thing I'm hoping to do, and the pay would be shit- not to mention the fact that everyone and her sister majors in psychology because it's "interesting," even if they have no idea what they'll do with it.
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.

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

Ah, I see: there's a distinction between clinical and otherwise.
Sorry.

Well, clinical usually refers ot the setting:  Working in a clinic-like atmosphere.  It's what is most commonly thought of when people think "psychology," but actually there's a fuckload of other things you can do with psychology.  Research is a big one; and even future clinicials are now expected to have a basic grasp of research, as part of the scientist-practicioneer model.  It didn't make sense to me to ask that of people who wouldn't be DOING research until I actually did research.  Now, I get it (although I understood it intellectually before):  If you're going to be treating people, you need to know what treaments really work, and what treatments are popular because Dr. Phil endorses them.

PMS Elle, i am so proud of you.  you are a truly brilliant person.  i am sure that you will succeed in everything you do in life.

 :o  Thanks.  :)
