Has having an Associate's or Bachelor's Degree in Psychology helped you?
Hello there! I'm planning to pursue life coaching as a career and would like to know whether having a psychology degree (whether that be an associate's, bachelor's, master's, etc) has helped you in attracting clients or has given you a lot of tools/understanding that has helped you in your practice.
Based on what I've seen, life experience seems to provide one with more knowledge in how to help people than an undergraduate degree does, but I still want to hear your opinions. Originally, I planned to pursue a Bachelor's in Psych but have become very disillusioned by the degree program I've chosen. I thought about becoming a mental health counselor but now I feel that life coaching is more my calling.
So anyways, what do you think? Has having a degree helped you? And also, do you have any advice for someone who will soon be entering the field? Thanks so much for your time!!
