Annah’s Answer

Ronasia, it will depend on different factors such as the cost of living, specialty focus, and work environment. A large city may offer a greater salary commensurate with the cost to live in that area. Working in nonprofit vs a private hospital or for the government may also have variance in starting pay. Additionally, a certain niche area of psychology may also be in higher demand, and this could potentially be reflected in the salary. If you are in private practice, you can set your own pay rate. What I have noticed in Seattle, is a starting salary anywhere between 120-150,000 annually. In contrast, someone with a master's degree might start anywhere from 60-80,000 and sometimes less. A psychiatrist on the other hand may start in/around 200,000. Take this with a grain of salt and do some of your own research however! Great luck to you in whatever field you pursue in life!

Charles’s Answer

Hello Ronasia, the salary that a Psychologist makes usually depends on where that professional is located so there is no set in stone figure that they would make.

You need to consider factors such as:

1. Geographical Location of the Psychologist.

2. The quality of professional education that they have received.

3. The area of Psychology that they have chosen to practice.

4. What their goals and professional aspirations are in terms of their career choices.

Once all these conditions have been met them a certain figure can be established.
