Qualifications, compensations, and more.
To become a forensic psychologist you need to get your bachelors degree (4yrs), your masters degree (2yrs), and get either your PhD or PsyD (2-4yrs). You can see it takes a significant amount of time and schooling just to be able to practice. The median salary falls around 60k a year, but the upper 10% exceeds 100,000k a year.
