The question has been on thousands of persons mind and still many more thousands. What is the best degree to get in psychology? How do you determine which degree to get? Am I making a good decision with getting a masters degree in psychology? Only one person can answer these questions, and that is you. Do the proper research and make an informed decision is the best advice one can give. Some advice I would strongly recommend has worked for many and I hope it does for you as well.

Determine if psychology is for you. Do you want to make millions? If so, this probably isn't the field for you. Do you want to make a decent living, support your family, help children, adolescents, married couples work through difficult times or even possibly changing the field of psychology as we know it with a ground breaking theory? If so, this may just be the field for you.

Next determine what areas interest you. Many branches of psychology exist such as clinical, industrial organizational and more. Make sure you read accurate job descriptions, the education requirements, the median salary etc. A great possible degree to get is a masters in applied psychology. This degree allows one to branch off into many different areas, becoming a licensed professional and more! Determine if you want to take traditional face-to-face classes or if the non-traditional online classes are a better fit for your schedule or needs such as having a family. Many programs across the country exist for online graduate degrees. Sacred Heart University offers an Applied Psychology degree online at very affordable prices. Find the school that best fits your budget, and desires.

Make time! This is the most important advice I can provide. If you want to advance in a new career, motivate yourself to do so! Only you can change your life. Don't watch is pass by, do something about it. Getting a career in psychology can be very promising and rewarding.
