I'm a psychology major, and I'm halfway through my bachelor's, but I'm still not exactly sure what would be the best course of action to find out what specific field interests me the most. And as much as I would like to do internships, I also want to make sure I get paid, so I can continue to pay for school.

CoimbatoreHow 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?
