Thanks for the reply, Elena!

I probably should have structured my post to ask for PsyD recommendations rather than both PsyD and PhD, as I have little drive to do a bunch research … only motivation for PhD is that it’s cheaper. I’ve had a 20 year career as a researcher and a research director (granted, in engineering) and I’m glad to not be doing it anymore. However, I may feel differently doing psychology research.

Another worry I have is that the time and effort I’d spend getting a few psych publications under my belt (assuming that would be needed to stand a chance at getting into a PhD program) would be less efficient than if I just did consulting work in engineering and then earmarked that $ to pay the full PsyD tuition.
