  • @Healtheworldx its not thaaaat long. 4 + 2-3 years of schooling and then youll have the rest of your life to do your job. if you finish some other type of schooling you might start your career a few years earlier. but in the long run, not going to school for an extra 2 years wont really make a difference. plus most doctors go to school much much longer than psychologists because they handle with medical drugs. but this is just my opinion, plus i hear psychologists make good money.

  • @samsananda If you had actually watched the video, psychologists cannot prescribe drugs. You are refering to a psychiatrist - disrespectfully.

  • @Deimos69r I think its just 4 years, but I think its different in europe.

  • So. To become a psychologist I have to get a bachelor's degree (4years), Take my GRE and go through graduate school in a specific course(+4years), After my doctorate I get PhD and become a psychologist?

    Anyone know the specifics on this??? Someone help me out :D

  • @samsananda You have no idea what you are talking about. You are probably referring to a psychiatrist. Psychiatry is just as valid as psychology, both professions require 10+ years of education, something that you obviously LACK to be making such dipshit statements. Get real.

  • HOW TO BECOME A PSYCHOLOGIST - (The ABCD's)

    Ability to be fluent in B.S.

    Base your diagnoses on studies that don't exist.

    Create syndromes and diseases where none exist.

    Deal in dangerous, mind-altering drugs.

  • He sounds like he is reading from a script.. and can't remember his own lines. This doesn't sound good at all. I completely agree that wikipedia has better and more accurate information. I think at one point he says chronicle psychologist, and he means clinical psychologist. What a joke.

  • i want to become this/psychiatrist but i wont b able to get into med school :( although its like 3 yrs before ill apply for that stuff

  • cool
