Thank you to everyone’s advice!
I did more research and I realize that 70k is not feasible for a starting school Psychologist and has made me want to scrap that option all together no matter where I go. Even if I got a Psy D. to go the clinical route, I’m not sure the cost and amount of school is worth the salary. I failed to mention I’m considering double majoring (along with Psych) in Biology or NeuroScience. This allows for higher paying career salaries such as being a PT/OT or even an Optometrist which all in intrigue me. I feel that if I’m going to pursue grad school I need to make sure I’m pursuing a career that makes alot of money (unlike a school psychologist). I feel those careers would for sure put me at making at least 70k-80k starting out.
Would a guaranteed higher salary such as those make Vanderbilt anymore feasible? I do understand though that my family are the only ones to ultimately measure that decision.
Also, I am absolutely willing to work in the summers to help lessen my student loans. Say if I plan to accumulate 20k in the summers over 4 years, cutting my debt in half, I believe that would make my situation more comfortable.
I used the websites from @Mwfan1921 and they helped a lot. Inputting the salaries of an optometrist and PT put me in a comfortable spot of being able to handle my loans.
