sychologists have a doctoral degree in an area of psychology, the study of the mind and human behavior. They're not medical doctors. A psychologist can have a PhD in philosophy or a PsyD in clinical or counseling psychology. Typically, they do 1-2 years of internship.

 

Psychology is a highly rewarding and lucrative field of study. A psychologist salary depends on many factors like his/her qualification, area of specialization, and experience in the profession but mostly its depends on location and clients aka more work in poor communities but obviously low pay.

As of May 2018, the median annual salary for clinical, counseling, and school psychologists was $85,340 per year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The lowest 10 percent of workers earned less than $44,040, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $129,310.

As you can see the pay averages low compared to other fields in medicine with the same amount of schooling requirements by roughly $300K. Most likely a result of to many grifting scammers and poor regulation taking the highest paying jobs in the field resulting in an overall drop in average over the years.
