How do you make money?

[SF1900]

Government funding basically pays for my school and then some.  Health care is provided by the government.  I am still not a fan of socialism, but I can't deny it has benefited me personally, but that is a selfish reason to endorse it.

I will be pursuing my Ph.D unless something comes up.  I will definitely be completing my Master's degree, and I do hope to do a Ph.D too even though it is another four years.  I just haven't decided which Ph.D program yet, because as of 2009, Lakehead will offer numerous Ph.D's in Psychology, so I will decide on which one later.

I just viewed Lakeheads webpage and they already offer a PhD in clinical psychology. Why not go for that?

Good stuff. Education = always good.

As long as you and Busey approve, thats all I need

They had an information booth set up in the school last week and a professor was telling me all about new programs starting in 2009.  My M.Sc is in experimental psychology and with the expansion of the Psychology department at the school I will wait to see what's available in 2009.  The university just got a med school and I've heard news about a law school, so that is very exciting for the community since the university is one of the better things around for the local economy.

Hmmm, interesting. I think the best bet is the PhD in clinical psychology, because you can do both research and clincal practice. If you get a PhD in a pure research oriented field, like cognitive psych or social/personality psych, you are stuck with mainly doing research since you are not licensed. The clinical allows you to do both. Also, with the clinical, you can eventually choose one specific field and get more specialized training in that area. For me, its marriage/family therapy and substance abuse.

.... I did a grauate assistanship when I was in my Masters program. I was an assistant professor and had to help teach classes, grade papers, etc.  They gave me around 3K for the semester. Not bad.

ph.d. programs pay better, the tuition is waived and, depending on a program and location, you get anywhere from 11K to 19K per academic year for up to 5 years, and of course you can still earn extra money during summers.

$50 isn't a "good" living, meaning living large or anything.  I'm saying that where I am from, $50 a day will easily cover all my expenses:

- $600 (mortgage, home expenses, for a four bedroom, two bathroom house, suitable for a family of five)
- $600 food bill (buys a perfectly adequate bodybuilding diet)
- $200 gas
- $100 car insurance
- $95 (land line, cell phone, internet)

Then I have miscellaneous expenses like car repairs and gym membership and so on.

I live like a miser and literally do not spend more than $500 a year on myself above and beyond my base expenses.  Everything else is saved or reinvested into my web design business.

I am from Northwestern Ontario and with the closure of several mills, people are poor here.  It is routine for some of my friends to literally not have the money to go to the movies on cheap night or catch the bus.  So when I can build a FLASH based website for easily $1,000 or more and do it in a weekend, that is a lot of money around here.

Socialism is currently helping Thunder Bay, but it was socialist overhead (union wages and the like) which caused the closure of mills to begin with.  Usually MORE socialism is never the answer, but the welfare state of my city is at least preventing people from starving (although it got them there to begin with).

sounds like a heck of a place.  is that where y'all ice fish?

Well, I am in a PhD program in the NY area and unfortunately, many schools in NY do not pay that much for an assistantship. In other states, you are correct, but for some reason not like that in NY ...you get some money, but it definitely does not cover your whole tuition and definitely does not get waived lolz..I will be in debt forever

what university do you go to?  at my school all ph.d. students get a full package for 5 years, when you think of it, they invest in you a total of about 230K.

Yes, that is about right here too.  It's a lot of money, but Ph.D holders are good for the world economy.

Adelphi, private university in Long Island. NY schools suck with stuff like that.

for my assistanship I do not get a lot of cash. I just looked on my schools webpag for specifics and most student gets 5k and some get 10K depending on merit and needs!

Where do you go?

Well, private univerisities are also greedy bastards. Remember, universities are a business like any other business. They want to make as much cash as possible! And I heard schools in NY suck for stuff like this. I know someone who went to a school in texas and his tuition was practically paid for!

[SF1900]

I think I need DebusseyDF to go to my school and OWN them for me

Did you have to take any philosophy classes about political science? Many philosophers talked about politics. I have my BA in psychology and philosophy!
