So…are you saying you are OK with potentially 6-7 years of schooling before you can be independently licensed?

Yes, totally. I’m retired (with a nest egg just shy of $10m) and still anticipate living another 40+ years, so I’m not in a huge hurry in a general sense. I’m just reluctant to do a PhD program that takes an extra few years (vs PsyD) because the research emphasis is not why I’m pursuing grad school again; my goal is to become a licensed clinical neuropsychologist, not to become a researcher in a different field than what I’ve already had a 20-year research career in.
