Is becoming a psychologist worth it?

Lol, babe you are exactly, to the "T" like me. Okay long story short, I had a crappy adolescent life and did drugs, got busted with Crack and had a choice, go to jail, or see a psychologist. I saw a psychologist for a year and she really turned my life around. Wanting to be a psychologist I attended UCSD ( I receive my diploma in the Spring) majoring in Psychology, specializing in Adolescent behavior and addiction. My psychologist too, turned my life around and I wanted to do what she did to me, help children going through troublesome times. First of all, NO NO NO NO NO NO you do not have to be rich to get an education. Especially with Obama as president you will most likely get financial aid to help you with your school (My room mate actually made money). If you make in the Bay Area usually the psychologists there make around 75 to 90k (Bay area pays the best in California so you're lucky!) If you really want to become a psychologist you are going to have to READ READ READ. College and grad school in general are all about reading. Research stuff that you want to know and when you get to college you'll cover the stuff you actually want to learn so it doesn't even feel like homework! E-mail me if you have any question because I'm basically you, six years from now
