STAY IN SCHOOL! You will need all the education you can get. Because last time I checked, there are no jobs in 'pyscology'. I would not want you as my Psychologist if you can't even spell it OR FIND THE SPELL CHECK button!

First you have to be a licensed psychologist then research their website. Send them a letter of introduction with  2 attached letters of recommendations from teachers or colleagues, requesting an appointment to meet. The easiest way to get your foot in the door is through networking, knowing someone who can get you that first interview. Good luck!

I'm a therapist. You'll need at least a Masters Degree in counseling or social work to get started, then after about 2 years of working in the field you take various tests, I took the NCE (national counselors examination), and an ethics test. I'm not sure on the specifics about Maine. Check out this web-site; http://www.nbcc.org or http://www.counseling.org   Any under \ngrad degree in behavioral science or social work will due.

It all depends. Partially it depends on what your specialization in your masters is. You can become a licensed and practicing clinical psychologist if you choose to study clinical psychology. You can take more of a research angle and go into project management, marketing research, or even political research (to name a few). Certainly with a focus on development and a teaching certificate in many states you could become a teacher. You could work in child care or youth development programs. Psychology is really broad and there are various specializations and applications for the knowledge you gain in a master's program. I'd encourage you to think further about what interests you about psychology and what you'd like to do long term/career-wise.

for high school it depends on the state generally you need to have a BA in a subject and Grad school courses in education, but there is a cirtification test he can take for the state he wishes to teach in and if he passes that then generally the school department works out a way for you to take any additional education courses at night or over the summer - there is just suh a demand for teachers. Or try Teach For America, they take BA grads and have you teach for I think 2 years in urban or at risk schools and then you get cirtified! Its a great program and free.\n\nFor college or university professor he needs to stay in school and get a Graduate degree or PhD.

If you go to a public college, you have a department dedicated to working with students with disabilities (Disabled Student Services was what it was called at my alma mater).  Look in your school phone book or talk to your advisors to find them.  That office should be able to point you in the direction of a psychoeducational evaluation.  They are not obligated to pay for it at the college level.  If your school has a school psychology program, you may be able to get tested there for a greatly reduced fee than if you went to a private psychologist.  If you are found to meet the criteria for a Learning Disability in math, you'd be given accommodations to a certain extent.  You must still be able to complete your core curriculum.  For example, if you are a math education major, the accommodations you'd have to get would be inappropriate for your chosen career.\n\nIf you go to a private school, I'm not so sure, you may have to seek a private eval.  Even still, I don't know if they would provide you with services.

You need to go to college for an SLP degree.  After that, you need to go on interviews at school districts or private agencies.  Good luck

There so many options you could take.  First focus on how you want to apply what you learn.  As a child psychologist, or a pupil service attendant, or what about working with social services focusing on a certain age group of children, elementary, middle or High school.  What ever you choose YEAH for you.  That is a definite field that needs people who really care and want to make a difference.  In California there is a program in LA connected with LA Works.  They are advocates for children.  Call them and maybe you could do some volunteer work to help you really focus in on what your heart desires.  Best of luck to you!

Check the webpage for the Pennsylvania State Board of Accountancy at <http://www.dos.state.pa.us/bpoa/cwp/view.asp?a=1104&q=432421>.\n\nEach state's requirements are slightly different, so it's best to check with them to see whether or not your credentials work.\n\ngood luck!

If you're talking about a teacher's credential, it depends on where you live and what you want to teach.  In the US, if you want to teach in a public school, you need at least a 4 year degree.  Each state has different requirements after that.

It appears that teachers aides in Michigan need a high school diploma. Here is the Michigan Civil Service Job Description for Teacher's Aides:\nhttp://www.michigan.gov/documents/TeacherAide_13051_7.pdf#search='michigan%20teachers%20aide%20qualifications'\n\nBUT, the No Child Left Behind Act has made it a requirement that teacher's aide meet the "highly qualified paraprofessional" standard if they assist with reading, writing or math in a Title 1 school (a school that has a high percentage of children who qualify for Title 1 reading assistance). Highly qualified means you must meet one of the following standards:\n\na.  Complete at least 60 hours credit toward a college diploma; or \nb.  Obtain an associate’s (or higher) degree; or \nc.  Demonstrate, through a formal academic assessment test, knowledge of and the ability to assist in instructing reading, writing, and mathematics (or, as appropriate, reading, writings, and mathematics readiness). \n\n\nMichigan has a test that you can take if you haven't met one of the educational requirements. \n\nRead all the details on this, including a worksheet to see how the educational requirements apply to you at:\nhttp://www.michigan.gov/documents/FAQ_-_paras_83927_7.doc\n\nIts a little confusing with the No Child Left Behind Act. Your local school district will be happy to help you understand the requirements. Call the Personnel or Human Resources department and ask.\n\nHope this helps!

In order to be a psychiatrist you need to attend an tradtional college/university and earn a BA or BS.  Then you need to make sure that you have the required prerequisite classes for medical school which is inorganic chemistry I and II, organic chemistry I and II, physics I and II, biology I and II, 6-9 gredit hours of english/ english lit..  And some schools require that an applicant has calculus and 3-9 hours of behavioral sciences.  And don't forget to take the MCAT, have good recommendations, maybe volunteer at a hospital etc..  Then apply to medical school in which  you will earn either a MD or DO depending on what program you want to be in.  (A psychiatrist has earned either an MD or DO.)  After you graduate from medical school, you need to enter a psychiatry residency (I don't know how long the residency program lasts, maybe 2-3 years?).  But, if you want to be a psychologist, you still need a BA or BS and then go to gradtuate school for psychology and earn a PhD. \n\nBe careful not to confuse a psychiatrist with a psychologist. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (M.D. or D.O.) who writes out prescriptions and decides whether physical and mental disorders are from physical or psychological origins. A psychologist, however, is a doctor of philosophy (Ph.D) or a doctor of psychology (Psy.D). Those are not medical degrees, and a psychologist cannot prescribe medicine.  But in order to become either one, you need to earn a B.A or B.S. first and have very good grades.

You can do it with a bachelor's degree, but you probably won't get far.  Most psychologists have a master's degree, and a few have a PhD.\n\nIf you search "Best Colleges", you will find sites that give information about each school.
