you never know, you still have a chance to get accepted so stay positive! I still havent heard back from three schools and Im starting to get a bad feeling

I applied to William & Mary masters program as well. I havent heard anything back from them yet and I saw today on their events page that interviews are set to happen 29th of Feb for school psychology applicants.. So I'm getting nervous worried I didn't get accepted... let me know if you hear back from them anytime soon!

Yes I read that. It almost scared me away as well, considering it was one of the first few things I read when I was looking into it all. One of the last posts on that thread describes it the best when he says that as long as you're willing to push through the first couple of years, get some experience, and find a district that works for you, it's totally a sustainable career. I think it has a lot to do with what state and district you work in, as far as how difficult the job will end up being. Like any career, sometimes you start off as the low man on the todem pole and have to work yourself up.
But being out of school for about 4 years, I can tell you that life is just as much of a grind with just a degree in psychology. Working 60-80 hours per week barely bringing in $40,000 a year working in group homes, school psychology will be a step up for me and what most people would experience.
Lastly, a lot of people on that thread were from Southern California districts, where it seems that jobs are nowhere near as numerous, or as sustainable. You could also say that most people who are motivated to post on a thread of pros and cons are those who are unhappy with their jobs. Some of the difficulties mentioned probably stand true for most, but I bet any pro and con thread of any occupation is going to focus more on the negatives than the positives. 
Once you're able to find a good district, you'll make $60,000+ with benefits, holidays, weekends ,summers off, and doing something that you can be proud of -  that's worth a few years of hopping around and struggling.
