I want to be a therapist, but I am having doubts.

I want to be a therapist, but is the pay good enough? Is it a fulfilling profession? I wanted to be a psychiatrist, but I didn't want to go through med school. Is it that hard to get a doctoral degree? Also, how do I know what type of therapist I want to be, if at all?

How can an MBBS graduate become a licensed therapist without pursuing a full psychology degree like a Bachelor’s or Master’s?

I’m currently in medical school and passionate about becoming a therapist, not a psychiatrist. I’ve learned that an MPhil in Clinical Psychology is a direct path, but I’m worried I may not meet the eligibility requirements, as most programs require a strong foundation in psychology. Are there alternative pathways for MBBS graduates to transition into therapy while minimizing time spent on additional degrees? Any guidance on how to proceed would be deeply appreciated!

How do I get started in becoming a clinical psychologist?

I'm planning on getting my BA in psychology, and I've been looking at the different careers in that area. I know that to be a clinical pyschologist it would require 7-8 years of school, and I'd have to get a PsyD. From what I've been reading, it's a competitive career and so is getting into a clinical psychology program, especially at the university I want to study at. I'm wondering what the steps would be to get to clinical psychology: grades, experience, etc. Are there also any other careers similar to clinical psychology that I could go into?
