Get a Bachelors in Psychology...then after that you go to graduate school for about 2 more years get a masters, and you can do some counseling work...Although if you want to be a psychologist you have to stay in school for 2 more years on top of that to get a doctorate degree. Then after graduating you work for about 2-7 years depending, and then you can become a psychologist. Sounds difficult but its not too bad.
