Psyd Worth Anything Anymore?


Now, I’ve done enough research to know that the best schools are the ones that are affiliated with a university. But, with all the diploma mills churning out degrees, is a PsyD even worth anything anymore? I’d love to be a clinical psychologist, and it was recommended to me by a PhD at my alma mater to go the PsyD route rather than the PhD, if I want to go into treatment. As well, the line between the two is becoming further blurred and that PsyD’s are no longer frowned upon. Does anyone have any idea how much a PsyD can make in private practice or as part of a clinic these days. I only ask the last part because these programs are quite high in cost. Can someone make just as much becoming and LCSW? Any advice would be great! Thanks.

Lifestyle Of Intellectual Property Attorney?


I am 32 and going to have a family soon. I have a computer science degree and know that IP law is a very rewarding field. At least, in a financial sense. However, I do love to spend time with my family and based on the research I performed in the past few weeks, I am getting mixed answers about the lifestyle of an IP attorney. Some people say they work crazy hours for several years and some claim IP lawyers do just 1,600 billable hours fresh off school since it’s a “niche” area of law. I personally doubt 1,600 hours is realistic but then again, who am I to say anything 🙂
If you are an IP attorney, either in prosecution or litigation, can you share how your lifestyle is like after you obtained your J.D.? If I do go to law school now, I won’t be done until I am 35 or 36 and with an average learning curve of 5 – 7 years, I don’t know if such path is a good choice. If anyone knows of a friend, family member, or spouse who is an IP attorney, any insight is also greatly appreciated. I went to a good school with a strong computer science program and graduated top 2% of my class. I just don’t know if I should further my career with a law degree practicing patent law. Is the lifestyle worth it.

My Chances For Nyu Stern Or U Of Mich?


Hi. I’m a junior from a public high school in NY. I want to enroll in NYU stern (regular decision) or University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (Early Action) for finance or any other business major, so I was wondering what my chances are. Here’s a summery of my transcript
Classes (just the main ones)
9th grade- Honors English, Honors geometry, honors world history, honors biology, science research, Spanish 2
10th grade- honors english, honors trig, honors world history II, honors chemistry, science research, Spanish 3
11th grade- honors english, honors pre calc, AP us history, AP chemistry, science research, Spanish 4
GPA: My school does this out of 100. My GPA during freshman year was like 92, but my sohpohomore one was about 95.8. Right now, I have a GPA of slightly above 95 as a junior. On Naviance (which has my fresh and sohpo grade only) I have a 94.24 GPA, which should go up after this year I guess.
SAT: 2210 (800 writing, 730 math, 680 reading)
Extracurriculars: Treasurer of my class in 10th, site-based representative 11th, Model UN 9th,10th, and 11th, Founder/President of Business Leaders of Tomorrow (My school’s first business club), Founder/President of Live United (Affiliated with the volunteer organization United Way), Treasurer of environmental club 11th, NHS, Math honors society, science honors society, Etc…
Also, I’ve interned at Albert Einstein-college of medicine for about 400 hours, and have about 150 hours of community service
I would appreciate it if i could get a response from an actual undergrad from the university, but anything’s fine. Thank you.

Should I Quit? What Would You Do?


So I’m on a four year masters program at a uk university . I’m in my fourth year and they send the top students to do our masters in a Harvard affiliated research department – where I have to write a year long thesis. Sounds great – but all it means is I’m in a cubical with a library card and told to get back in 8 month with a thesis, the lack of training is unbelievable. My supervisors to busy to see me I have no idea what I’m doing. I am given no support and expected to do more than the p.h.d students here who get proper training. It feels like the department are like your from another uk in another country – you not our responsibility. and my grade is slipping form a 90% average to a pretty much a fail!! – I have contacted the university (which have abandon us by the way) and having been given the choice: either put up with it or quit.
What annoys me is I’m paying to become a trained scientist not left in a room and forgotten about. I have forced the unis hand and they (if i give the go ahead) can give me my undergrad (batch) degree and I can walk away with my degree intact. I’ll take a few months off and start my masters again at another uk uni in oct/nov 2011 – to do some proper training.
So my question is – what would you do?? I am very angry that the uni has done this to me. I am/was the top student in my year. I’m working 65 hours a week just to get anywhere – I might just as well be sat in a library in the uk with internet access – I get no help. I handed in a draft of the first chapter of my thesis 6 weeks ago – my supervisors not even bothered to pick it up of his desk!!! I don’t know what to do?!
I feel that (if I quit) employers will want to know why and they will automatically assume that it was because I was not able to cope – not that I got no help!!
any advice is welcome. thanks guys. Signed a very desperate grad student 🙁
