Question by Journeystep: What do I need to become a therapist? How much money do they earn?
How hard is it to become one? And what courses should I be taking in high school to get ready for it. Lots of information would be appreciated! Thank you.

Best answer:

Answer by paulfriedman7
What kind of a therapist? You can probably land a job as a psychiatric social worker with just a Masters degree in Social Work or Psychology. A Masters is four-years of undergraduate college, followed by two years for a Masters degree. Psychology is one of the “easier” sciences, compared to say, Nuclear Physics. But it is still college and will be harder than high school.

To have much chance of landing a position as a psychologist you need to have a Ph.D. Add three more years to the Masters.
