psychhopeful7 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 What do you guys think about the job market regarding people with wither a PsyD or PhD in clinical psychology? It sounds like something I would love doing in theory, but I am just uncertain about the reality of the job market. I know most end up having their own practice (which is also what I would like to eventually do), but I am just concerned about jobs right after getting a doctoral degree.

mb712 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I guess it's all relative. Compared to other psych fields, clinical could potentially have the best job prospects since you won't be limited to an academic or research job. Otherwise, APA seems fairly optimistic (and this was written mid-recession): http://www.apa.org/gradpsych/2011/03/cover-sunny.aspxas does the Bureau of Labor: http://www.bls.gov/ooh/life-physical-and-social-science/mobile/psychologists.htm psychhopeful7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
