    College degree plus grad school for a Ph.D in Psych. There are lots of psych majors and few openings---and opening your own practice takes lots of money and experience to do.

    Getting a doctorate is not crucial for scientific psychology. If you entire an undergrad measure in psychology, you most effective want targeted coaching systems (a graduate measure, which takes two-three years). However, a Ph.D of Psy. D is an alternative. They take approximately five years to receive after four years of undergrad.
