[life of a psychology grad student]

Hi,

I am extremely interested and serious in pursuing a career in clinical psychology. I am trying to decide if I should  pursue Masters or PhD. I have everything sorted out except one thing I am trying to find out is the daily life of a psychology graduate student.

My sister was in Molecular Biology PhD program. She had to work 7am-10pm in the lab, read articles, write research proposals after that and even go to the lab at least for 6 hours every weekend. My question is very straight and simple. Do psychology graduate students need to work like that as well?

I am not scared to work hard. I just wanted to be fully aware of what I will be getting into and prepare myself accordingly.

Thank you in advance for your time & information.

Best wishes,
Sri
