If not, why get a masters?

You need a master's degree to teach and a master's to practice. Nothing. You don't need a masters to teach high school psychology. amesballa Posted at 12:44 pm on Jan. 16, 2008 Post from this position was omitted due to content violations Toby Bear Posted at 9:42 am on Jan. 16, 2008 It turns out you can do more than clinical psychology. With a bachelors you could work in advertising. Aqueous Posted at 12:30 am on Jan. 16, 2008 I've been wondering the same thing lately...I want to go into psychology but I don't want to have to spend years getting a PHD....:S AthenaRuth Posted at 4:28 pm on Jan. 15, 2008 Quote: from AestheticRomance at 6:45 pm on Jan. 13, 2008 You ask: "Do you want fries with that?"

As for why someone would get a masters if they don't' need it, they may want to learn more about a specific topic, or get a better job than someone with a bachelors. There are many reasons. Pendulum Posted at 6:41 pm on Jan. 13, 2008 I don't know the answer to the first one, but for the second, there can be lots of reasons, be it a personal challenge, or be it to beat a rival. ghostwriter Posted at 6:41 pm on Jan. 13, 2008 you really can't do anything with a university degree.  it doesn't prepare you for work, its just a right of passage.
