What I Want To Be
When I become older I would like to be a clinical psychologist.
A clinical psychologist diagnoses and evaluates mental disorders and plans treatment.
The average annual salary is $72,000.
The job requires a doctorate degree, although some accept master degrees.
A clinical psychologist's daily tasks include sessions with clients, evaluating how they feel, and diagnosing them with disorders if needed.
There are expected to have more open positions near 2018.
Clinical psychologists' have high pay compared to the average job [pay for the average job: $47,000]. They also have flexible hours and they help others improve their lives.
