Okay, so I'm not actually a psychologist YET, but I'm in grad school and will have my doctorates degree in 2 years. However, I am in the process of doing my internship so I have some experience. Since no one has answered, I'll give it a shot. 1) It really depends on what kind of psychologist you want to become. There are many, many different types (e.g. research psychologist, child psychologist, psychoanalyst, etc, etc, etc). P.S. The money really isn't that good. 2) Again, depends on what type of psychologist you want to become. 3) No, but usually schools like this are frowned upon and not taken as seriously. 4) N/A Furthermore, you needs a doctorate degree to become a psychologist. You needs a Masters to become a therapist. A BA doesn't do much, hate to say. Okay, in hindsight I probably shouldn't have answered your Q since I wasn't really helpful at all. Sorry!
