Careers between MA and PhD
Hi all. I have been in the age old debate of what Masters to choose: counseling, social work, or psych. Despite a lot of what I am seeing, I am leaning heavily towards psychology for a few reasons:
I have strong aspirations to go for a PhD, and with my background, I need research experience most of all.
Overall, MA in Psych will be more affordable, completed faster, and more doable while working part-time.
I know this is controversial among the general community, but I still want to ask: if I go this route, what employment opportunities will exist between MA and PhD, if any? Thanks in advance.
