I've heard of Educational Psychology and it sounds great so far! How exactly do i go into this field? Does anyone do this for a living? Pros & Cons? Whats your salary like and the job market? I thought of teaching but salary is low and jobs are mostly filled internally. ARe there any other jobs similar to this field? Please give me any info you may have!

It depends what part of Psychology you are interested in. School Psychologists generally get paid well (about $70K) and have good benefits (summers off). Another bonus is that it takes less time to become a school Psych than a Clinical Psychologist. But, if it is counsel ling you are interested in, than that route is not for you. School Psychologists deal mostly with Special Ed (testing, placement, management, etc).
Other than that, it depends what kind of education you are interested in. I think that most psychologists are teachers in their own right. We help others learn about themselves and discover more effective ways of being.

Why not consider getting into School Psychology or School Psychologist. It is still int he educational system and you get to be a Psychologist. Maybe even life-coaching is an option for you. There you dop teaching people not counseling or therapy. School Psychologists make good money I know some districts pay upwards to 90,000 a year. Locally where i am at i think about 70,000 - 75,000.

I just want to say this: Hurry up and finish your degree and get into the job market. That's when your education really begins.

a school guidance counselor will be great because you can teach a specific class and also give the students support.
