For those already have a master or doctoral degree in Psychology, PLZ help!!!?

I am currently a college student in Psychology, studying in University of Houston. Got transferred to UH a semester ago. In my school, a minor is required for a degree in psychology. I know I want to be a clinical psychologist/school psychologist (not quite sure about SP since I am not very excited when im interacting with kids. couldnt say im a child lover, just normal. I like them, but not extremely like them.) Nonetheless, I got some question about the transition between degree. I knew ahead that this path requires a lot of schooling, and i dont mind it. In fact, I love school.

However, the financial problem is the real deal. Based on my saving (from working at 18 to now,22), I think I am still able to paid off all my tuition with no debt, to get the Bachelor degree. And to get to Master and Ph.D , I will need more money.

So here is my question, How do you get through the transition to higher education when you cant do anything with a Bachelor degree in psychology? What do you do before you get your master or even doctoral when you got your Bachelor?

Currently, I am just working in a Grocery store with low pay, $ 7.75. It is ok for now since i dont have much billing. But I dont want to stuck in a grocery store forever.I want to be ready to go when i got those degree. Also, internship. how do you get pass your internship especially sometimes they dont pay you? How do you make your living?

PLEASE HELP

Graduate programs in the arts and sciences support their doctoral candidates with fellowships, teaching assistantships, and research assistantships. I didn't pay for my PhD. I received a series of fellowships and was also a TA and research assistant.

That's how it works. If you cannot get into a program that offers you funding, then you are not considered a truly good candidate for a PhD.

No one, I mean no one does anything with a ba in psychology


If you don't want to work in the grocery store forever, I advice to get in debt to get a masters or old like everyone else.
