What kind of education or training will you need to prepare for psychology?

There is a 4 year degree in psychology that you can get, but this doesn't give you much of a career or job. A master's in child, family counseling or school counseling/psychologist will give a better job outlook rather than just a degree in psychology. Then, there is a PhD in psychology that will allow you to open a private practice, work in a hospital, or mental facility. Psychology is subject matter and not a preparation for work. The main goal of a college education is to give the student a means for a career/profession.
