[USA] How much are my associate's degree and psych courses really helping me as a high schooler attempting to become a psychologist?
I am about to be a Senior in high school, and I've been effectively taking Dual Enrollment classes all throughout my HS years. I've chosen to eventually become a psychologist due to my love of the human mind and talk therapy, and the psychology courses I am already taking look fairly promising and interesting. However, I am curious on how much exactly my associates degree will actually do for me in the long run, as I know that psychology programs are usually very specific and competitive in their courses. Not only that, but I know that the time spent in college for a psychologist is extremely long. Anyone know anything about that?
