Question by .: How to become a psychiatrist?
I really want to become a psychiatrist/ therapist, I don’t mind whether child/ adolescent or adult, I took a psychology course in high school and loved it, I found it so interesting and I would really like to help people

But I hear a lot of people take a psychology degree and don’t get any related jobs, I just moved to Tennessee and will be going to college near Knoxville

Does any one know how easy it is to get psychiatry/therapist jobs here? How would I go about achieving my goal?

Alternatively I could like an Elementary school teacher? Do you think that is a more sensible idea?
