Psychopharmacology is the study of the effects of any psychoactive drug that acts upon the mind by affecting brain chemistry. Amanita muscaria (the common Fly Agaric) is often regarded as the first such drug, with modern theories positing the discovery of its psychoactive properties circa 10,000 BCE. Modern psychopharmacology studies a wide range of chemicals with many different types of effect.\nPsychoactive drug use predates recorded history. Hunter-gatherer societies tended to favor hallucinogenic drugs, and today their use can still be observed in many surviving tribal cultures. The exact drug used depends on what the particular ecosystem a given tribe lives in can support, and are typically found growing wild. Such drugs include various hallucinogenic mushrooms and cacti, along with many other plants. These societies generally attach spiritual significance to drug use, and often incorporate it into their religious practices.

Maybe a psychologist, social worker, or a victim's advocate who would work with abused women or children.  Perhaps you could work in a drug rehab or half way house, but get a degree, so you get paid well; few people have good skills like yours.

As with all fields there are different levels of therapists in the field.  How far one goes helps in determining there pay along with if they work for themselves with their own shop or make house calls or work for a world renown resort and spa.  Tips are usually the part that makes the most money in the field.

Many companies hire people with undergraduate degrees in fields such as psychology, archeology and palentology, but most of the time, the jobs have little or nothing to do with the field of study.\n\nAn undergraduate degree is what opens the doors of most companies.  \n\nIf you want to pursue psychology, you will need at least a Master's degree and more likely a doctoral degree.

Yes, and I'm currently working toward a Ph.D. in social psychology.  Unless I feel like selling out after getting my master's and making more money in the private sector :)

Do what you feel is right. Aside for the salary increase, I believe you'd need a new work environment as you already mentioned your dissatisfaction with your present work. Go for it and just be glad you have such choice. :)

If its on paper, put what you think is right for the job. How would you know that? ask around you can get opinions from the said stores just by asking the staff how much ( without sounding a bit tacky as to how much a typical employee would get on an hourly basis) in a casual manner. Do some research and visit these stores, you will get a sense of what they make and what the working conditions are like. You could also go to salary.com and find out what the national/ regional  average is. If you are asked during an interview let them know how much you want but emphasize the fact  that you are willing to negotiate.

Go for science. For one thing, you can make more money and there are many more opportunities. I was a chemist for about six years before going on for more education and the pay was good, the hours good and the people wonderfully intelligent and fun to work with. You're too young to limit yourself by foregoing serious education for something like massage. While that may be a good career choice if you've tried more intellectual pursuits and found you didn't like them, I wouldn't start there. Keep it as a backup if the science thing doesn't work out for you. Plus, the hours, working conditions and pay are much less for massage therapists than folks with a science background. (I have a friend who teaches at a massage therapy school, so I'm familiar with the lifestyle.) Good luck.

Yes, if you have a passion for the field and are good at it. Otherwise, I'd suggest other ways to earn money.\nBe sure to distinguish between a psychiatrist and psychologist. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor first, and is able (and often willing) to prescribe drugs as a part of therapy.\nA psychologist specializes more in cognitive or behavioral treatments, and typically is not able to prescribe drugs.\nMonetarily, psychiatrists are likely to earn significantly more in their careers. As far as happiness, I think you will find that both psychiatrists and psychologists enjoy the challenge of making a difference in people's lives.
