I graduated a little over a year ago with a BA in Economics. Over the course of my studies, I realized that even though I loved economics, I didn't want a career in finance/insurance etc. After graduating I managed to get a job in a direct care role working with children who have experienced recent traumatic events. The rest of the staff have psychology or education BA's.
I have come to realize that I really want to get a graduate degree in clinical psychology. I graduated from a decent state school summa cum laude, and I won awards etc., so my academic record is stellar. I was thinking that maybe if I take a handful of psychology undergraduate courses (abnormal psych, research methods, developmental psych) I could be accepted into a masters program. If my current job works out, I could have good references in this field as well. Is this realistic?
