A psychiatrist requires medical school. They are a medical doctor with a speciality in psychiatric problems. They are the only ones, therefore, who can prescribe medicine. A psychologist cannot. A psychologist, to practice as a counselling or clinical psychologist, generally requires a Ph.D., rarely one can work with a master's, usually during the licensure apprenticeship period. Psychologists, however, may do many things besides counselling. There are educational psychologists, school psychologists, ergonomic psychologists, social psychologists. The list goes on and on. It is a fascinating field with many options depending on what you are interested in.

To be a Psychologist, you about 7 years of school, (In Counseling). To be a Psychiatrist, you need to go to medical school, and take classes in Psychology. Psychiatrists make more money than a Psychologist, depending on what you do with it. The best place to find out is with your school counselor or career center. They can tell you exactly what education you need, the market for each, and the pay scale.
