I will not only be in debt, but I will also lose the most precious resource I have, which is time. So, is the pay worth all that time and effort? According to Cherry psychology expert Kendra, "most entry-level positions for PhDs start at $60,000 to $70,000 per year." Individuals with a bachelor's or master's degree typically hold the title of psychological assistant or psychological associate. Starting salaries for these positions typically start around $35,000 or $40,000” (nd). Yes, for me it's worth it because it's something I'm extremely passionate about. This also means that I will have to move to a more populated city in order to find a well-paying job. My main goal is to be one of the best forensic psychologists in my field, and I know that finding a job is going to be difficult and that a high salary is not guaranteed, but striving to achieve my goal with my determination and competitiveness, it will be worth it.
