Best Answer

Bachelor's degree (4 years), Master's degree (2 years), Doctoral degree (2 years), pre-doctoral internship (1-2 years), post-doctoral rotation (1-2 years) & the passing of the national and state licensure exams. Basically, about 10-12 years total. Job opportunities are endless - private practice, consulting, schools, prisons, hospitals, the military, evaluation, court testimony, research - there is always a need for psychologists.
