I'm just now starting my graduate school search. I live in Columbus, Ohio and I would like to stay in state. I have decided that I am either interested in pursuing a Psy.D or a MSW. Any recommendations? I know that I want to work one on one with clients. I am afraid that a MSW wouldn't give me the independence that I want, nor the money in mid-career salary that I need to support my family. Is there a major difference in careers or salary for people with a MSW or Psy.D? I am having a hard time finding real information from real people with real experiences, so I decided to give this site a shot!!! Thanks! I am currently studying psychology at Otterbein University and I plan to begin graduate school in the fall of 2017.
