<p>To the OP-
I did my undergrad at Vassar (double majored in psychology and biopsychology) and have my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology/Neuropsychology. I feel I had a wonderful education. Vassar can prepare you well for med or grad school. I work with kids and adults and love the blend of diagnostic testing and therapy. As for the “turf war” to which pencilpusher alludes, I don’t have the same experience-- I have a great working relationship with many MDs (psychiatrists, neurologists, rheumatologists,e tc). We respect each other’s work. We all grumble severly about what the insurance industry has done to our professions, but we don’t get into complaining about each other’s practices. Sorry you feel you have to “put up” with your colleagues. Sheesh.</p>
