Answer by michele
4 years of college (undergrad) – major in psychology

2 years for your master’s degree

2-3 additional years of doctoral coursework (either Ph.D. or Psy.D.)

dissertation (how long this takes depends on you – Ph.D.’s complete dissertations, while some Psy.D.s do not)

1 year full time APA approved internship

pass the EPPP (how long this takes also depends on you, some pass the first time, others do not – it’s like the “bar” for attorneys)

1-3 years POST DOCTORAL supervised experience – the number of years required varies by state

Question by Leah F: I pretty much hate my life and I don’t know what to do?
First off I’m 14 and literally hate my life. Why? Well everything just really sucks.

Home life:

I live with my mom and her boyfriend. Boyfriend is a rude control freak who even bothers my mom. But we have no money to leave. My mom can get really angry with me. She has bipolar and one moment she will be the sweet white picket fence mom and the other moment she is extremely angry and calls you names. I’m constantly told all my faults by her boyfriend. We live in a very small trailer and it can be hectic. I never have a day where all we do is laugh and smile. I used too, before my mom decided to move in with him. He’s childish and my mom clings onto him.

Question by Matt: How to make friends?
I’m looking for genuine strategies for finding GOOD friends.

I’m 26, and totally inept at making friends. To most people I seem pretty normal – at work people assume I have friends outside of work, and at home my family thinks I have friends at work or elsewhere. Basically, I have neither. I’ve never had a girlfriend. I just don’t try or care. I’m not deformed or especially dorky. People say, “be yourself”. Well…the genuine me is boring and disinterested in most everything. People say get a hobby or join a club. I’d rather scrub the toilet. People say “try counseling”. Done it – medication too… none helped. Despite my general disinterest in people, I still feel like there’s a void in my life.
