What Degree should I be looking at to be a clinical psychologist?

I’m trying to figure degree pathways to be a clinical therapist and eventually a clinical psychologist. From what I’m aware of my degree should be in science i.e. BS, MS, I don’t think I can find anything AS-T with Psychology unless I just don’t know where to look. I’ve found 2 degree programs for the B.S. Cognitive Science and Psychobiology , which degree would be better the career path?

Is it okay to select forensic psychology as a career option, if you are from humanities background?

So, I am from India and am interested in psychology so I chose humanities.. however, alot of people in my surrounding are asking me not to continue psychology as it is kind of a dead career option since not much jobs are available and it will be hard to fend myself later.. So what should I do.. I don't understand.. though i like it and would like to continue my opinion of going through with it but then the opinions of other people are also justifiable so I don't know what to do.... (I want to go for forensic psychology specifically..)

I have really good internship offers for the medical field, but Im really only interested in the Mental Health field, does anyone have any recommendations to what I should do?

Hi, Currently I am a highschool student who is also minoring in psychology at community college and plans to double major in psychology and sociology, then earn a masters in social work, recently I was presented the opportunity to be inscribed with the Congress of Future Medical Leaders Award of Excellence, which is a two day national academy of future physicians congress meeting that will also allow me to be featured on local TV stations and newspapers. The problem being that I'm not interested in the medical field as a future career path. If I were able to pass this over to someone else, I would but I can't. This would be a really big opportunity to put myself out there, and it would look really good on college applications, and on my academic profile, but it doesn't have anything that I inherently want for my future career path, and it also might look weird on my college applications.

In terms of applying to graduate school, would my chances for admission be higher with a Master's degree?

I am a psychology major and graduating in the Fall of 2025. I've been looking to clinical psychology PhD programs, but some programs don't require a Master's degree for admission. However, I don't know if that would make me less competitive when applying. If I could avoid 2-3 additional years of paying for school I would love that, but I don't know if my chances would be better with more schooling. Any advice would be great!

Can you get an associate's degree in one subject and a bachelor's in another?

I am an aspiring LCSW in sophomore year. I am taking my associates in college this year, but I don't know if I should major in Psychology and English or Sociology and English (I have to take a college class for English, but It was also recommended that I take another dual college class as well). In college I want to major in Sociology, and I was wondering that if I were to take a Psychology class would it look perplexing on my College application.

I am currently a Sophomore in high school and I am applying to do Dual-Enrollment online during my Junior and Senior year with a community college called Forsyth Tech.

What jobs can I get with my Bachelors in Psychology ?

I recently graduated and got my bachelors in psych, but i feel like finding a job in this field with this degree is a little difficult. I am open to anything except working with children. Can someone recommend something or give me advice? I don't like the feeling that im wasting my life away at such a young age, I want to start a new job so I can get my life rolling. And yes I know I would get more opportunity if I go to grad school, currently working on that for 2025

How tough is medical school?

How tough is medical school? I’ve been skeptic about going here, not just a price, but how difficult it is. Is it really that difficult? I’m up for any challenge, but I am not good with sleepless nights.
