LucidMind got a reaction from IO guy-o in How does this look for graduate school applications?
What's not to be sold on?? From bjacque's program, you'll be over 120,000 dollars in debt, have a degree from an unaccredited program (errg...excuse me...on probation from the APA), and not be able to find an internship. Fun huh?? Oh...and a 14% APA accredited internship placement last year

LucidMind reacted to PsychMinded in Starting to get discouraged with application process....any constructive advice?
I'm kinda getting two different goals from your posts.
One is that you really want to do a PhD because you want to do research.
The other is that you want to go to grad school because a BA in Psych isn't employable.
The second one is a really bad reason to get a graduate degree, imo.
I would prod a bit more about doing research while not a student- that's not how it's been any of the places I work.
As mentioned, maybe there are other schools nearby where you could work without being a student.
If so, then I would suggest cutting out the classes, and split your time between research and working. It will let you get more research experience, and more time working will let you breathe easier financially.
Then take the GRE and apply for MS programs. You can probably even apply late now, if you want to.
While you will get an MA/MS on the way to a PhD, I would think that with your background, getting an MA/MS would be the best way to show that you can do well in grad school as well as get significant research experience.
