I am doing a non-apa accredited internship (I know apa is preferred). However, it is my reality. I would like to know, for those of you who completed non-apa accredited internships, where did you end up? How did your career turn out? Any regrets?
So when time came around to choose a dissertation chair, everyone I wanted denied me for already having a bunch of dissertations already. I am doing a literature review. My dissertation chair is also a higher up in my department. He is painfully unhelpful. I work for quality, he wants quantity (24+ pages per chapter, not bad at all, but he's chair on dissertations that were 76 pages over 5 chapters). I have people in my cohort who have dissertation chairs that take time to contribute to their work and mentor them. My dissertation chair simply edits my work, and asks seemingly rhetorical questions I think he should have the answer to. I understand this is hard work and it is mine alone. However, he changed the whole direction of my dissertation by insisting my proposal went along with his own clinical interests which creates a disconnect between my chapter 2 and chapter 3. He is simply unhelpful. I expected mentorship and support. We have had countless meetings and are still not on the same page. I am worried that if I attempt to find another chair, I will have to start all over even thought my proposal was already approved. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Hello ladies. I am moving specifically to Colorado springs at the end of next month. I have never been that far out west. Are any of you located in that area? What is the vibe being black there? I have heard that it is very conservative (I am not), and suburban. I am most concerned about the amount of snow and having to shovel myself out before work. Any tips, tricks, or anecdotes to help quell my anxiety about this place?
