The fields overlap a great deal, particularly counseling and clinical psychology. The psychologist license in most states is not field specific. In other words, in most states, you are licensed as a PSYCHOLOGIST, not as a forensic psychologist, clinical psychologist, or counseling psychologist.
Psychologists need a Ph.D. (or Psy.D.) to be licensed – among other requirements. Though it is technically possible, it really isn’t reasonable to complete two Ph.D.s . You’d want to choose one of those fields in which to do your doctoral work.
As in any other occupation, if you work two full time jobs, you’d get paid for doing two full time jobs. If not, then no.
