| Either choice may be a good one - depending on what you most want to do. I wanted to point out though that I think you're mistaken to think that a Ph.D. or Psy.D. is not as versatile as a MSW. In fact one of the aspects of my career that I've enjoyed the most has been its diversity. I have a Ph.D. in psychology and have recreated my career over the years as my interests and family requirements shifted. I've worked in nonprofit agencies, in a medical hospital, on the faculty of a medical school, and now teach in a Psy.D. program. In the course of those positions my responsibilities have ranged from providing psychotherapy, psychological assessment, research, teaching medical students and graduate students to administration. There's not a bad choice here, but it might be worth taking some time out to work and really assess what you most want to do before taking the leap into graduate school. |
