Need help please.. - rameces - 12-08-2009
I am close to getting a Master of Psychology. I have a plan on pursuing my PhD in Psychology.
My question is, what kind of jobs can I get without licensure? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought licensure was only needed if a psychologist was going to work independently and start their own practice. But what if I want to simply go work for somebody else?
Excluding psychology jobs in organizational development, what jobs require the licensure and what jobs don't?
Thanks in advance!

From lpc, to phd cadc to mft from lsw to msw, get my drift. Anything else will not allow you to charge any insurance plans. Now without license you can work in probation, parole, case management etc.
