Become a psychologist in the USA?

t4issByt4iss

I'm currently finishing high school and definitely want to become a psychologist in the future. I'm still unsure which direction I want to pursue (child and youth therapist, adult therapist, or perhaps addiction therapy), but my question is:

If I want to become a psychologist in the USA, is a high school diploma enough or do I also need to study psychology?

And if I need to study psychology, can I also study psychology in the US? If so, where? And what are the requirements for studying psychology in the US?

I'm sorry if the question is stupid but I can't find anything on the internet🥲

If you want to study in the United States, you need to have depriving parents or a lot of money on your hands.

Psychology studies in the USA do not allow you to work there as well. A work visa is not included despite immense tuition fees.

The degree programmes are not mutually recognised.

It is a long way that will not necessarily be crowned by success.

The Abitur is enough to study in the USA. But I wouldn’t want to do that, because first the university costs are enormous (30.000$ per year is not unusual) and also the housing prices are really high and at the same time it’s almost no matter which city and in which area you are looking for an apartment. Alternatively, there is of course also a scholarship, but here too there are criteria that are not without.

Psychology is also a hard-hearted study programme, which should be really exciting for.

Without qualification and only with a German Abitur in hand, you will not be able to practice as a psychologist in the USA.

(Google Keywords: “USA Psychologist”) requirements.

In addition, the question arises as to how you come to a job and residence permit as a beginner.

Universities that offer psychology as a course of study are now really easy to find in the net, so much can be really expected from Abiturienten.
