Very normal experience! Even in grad school for most people that doesn't change and can be difficult, so I resonate as well with that! Past success and accomplishment is a good indicator for future success, so if you have good grades that's a really good sign, best of luck as you pursue the field, hope the channel can be helpful in navigating application season!
Just wanted to say I love your videos! I’m considering a PsyD but as a single mom I’m not sure how to be a full time student and still keep a roof over our heads.
I can only imagine! I know of a few students in your same position and I'm hoping to do a few interviews in the future that might be able to shed light on it, I think it's an important topic
Hello, I am currently earning my Master in Forensic Psychology. I graduate in October 2023, yay! Would working within the forensics unit of a police department suffice in gaining the minimum of 5 years experience I will need?
That's a great question! I'm not exactly sure what the APA requirements are in this case so I might double check with perhaps faculty or professors in your program. Best of luck!
Hey, Phil. Just found your channel. Got kind of a complex question. I'm wanting to do my graduates degree in Psychology with a concentration on Forensics. My school is SNHU. Southern New Hampsire University. While they are regionally accredited, their Psycholgy degree does not qualify for licensure. But going into anything clinical isn't my goal. I work for walmart and am wanting to get into the legal team here at the Home Office in Bentonville, Arkansas. I was wondering your opinion on a Psych degree that wont get you to be licensed however comes from a school that is legit and accredited. Also, walmart loves SNHU graduates because that school is part of their employee program of paid collge tuition for associates. Would it be worth the 20k? Btw i subbed. I guess im wondering how recrutiers would look at that degree in a legal field as opposed to clincal or practice whoch obviously i wouldnt be eligible for. Could i still land a solid job even outside of my own company should i want to?
Hey great question! So anything in the area of getting a college degree in psychology is great, my only question is will your degree make you eligible for graduate schools in order to concentrate your studies in a grad school program for forensics? I think how I'm understanding your question is that you just want to make sure that if you get this degree you're going to be set up for the type of work you want to do? I think asking the company and verifying that they would accept your degree is acceptable, and I also think emailing graduate schools about your courses and degrees and how that looks if you were to apply to their program is also accepted. The biggest thing with clinical psychology is going to an APA accredited program for the PsyD/PhD but if you don't want to go into the clinical part it sounds like there's more options for you.

HI i was wondering if forensic psychologist go to crime scenes or do criminal psychologist do that. Can you please do a video about the difference between forensic and criminal psychology ❤ thank you
Typically the forensic psychologist is hired by the lawyer or attorney to do an assessment for their cilent, like a personality or psychological assessment. I'm not sure if they go to crime scenes but I can look into that and see if a specialist will come to the channel and discuss, great idea!
@@philsguidetopsyd thanku for your reply sir! I have One More question, what the highest paying job between Neuro psychologist or industrial organisational psychologist?
Hello! Also depends! IO jobs sometimes are more contract positions rather than full-time it depends on the job/company but they can both have similar pay outlooks.
Hi!! I’m a senior in highschool and working in this field has been a dream of mine. What do you suggest I major in? I was planning on majoring in psychology and minoring in criminology. Is this good? Would I still be able to get a PhD in forensic psychology? Thank you for all of your help!
Great questions! Often times contacting the PhD schools you might be interested in might be helpful ways seeing what their suggestions might be. In general there are lots of ways to get to the same goal, so contacting a PhD forensic psychologist or the school might be the most helpful, best of luck!
Depending on where you live, if you're in the U.S., a masters degree is at least required for forensic, then often times a phd/psyd in clinical psychology, internship in forensic psych, and a 1-2 year post doc in forensic psych. Some can choose to get board-certified after that. Hope that helps.
Yes! Depending on the work setting and area of specialty. Some forensic psychologists could take contract forensic positions and still see pts for regular clinical psychology practice.
Yes, I have a part-time job as a personal trainer. It's flexible enough that I can do it around my training hours/school. Others also have part-time jobs, but it needs to be flexible in order to accomodate school responsibilities. Hope that helps!
