Master's Level Research Jobs

[Le Chat]

I wanted to see if anyone here has a Master's in Psychology and has worked in research, and if they enjoyed their experience. I am graduating next year with a Master's in Clinical Psychology (license eligible) and am passionate about psychological research, with the goal of a PhD. I know that I wouldn't be independent, but was curious about the quality of research jobs with a Master's degree.

I currently work as a project manager on a study at NYU School of Medicine after receiving an MA in Clinical Psych (license eligible).  I think it's hard to say whether you will enjoy it without knowing you, but there are definitely jobs out there, whether doing coordinating, clinical/diagnostic interviewing, or something in between.  If you are passionate about research, I say go for it.  For the record, I love research and the majority of my job - the reasons I don't enjoy my job have more to do with my lab than research as a whole.  That said, I do also miss clinical work.
