Hi guys,
I just got into the Wright Institute, which now has APA only internships at the end of the five year program. However, I'm really hesitant to accept due to debt fears and job prospects. I am in my late twenties, have no debt, and am a teacher in the Bay Area. The school has a good reputation, what seems like a good faculty, and a good vibe on campus. Yet I cannot shake the fears off 120k+ in debt for tuition- that being pre interest accrual. California does sound like it's saturated as far as opinions go- but what's it like out there for those of you really working who have graduated from a PsyD program? We cannot work during the program and being a little older has made me realize (especially up here) how expensive life is. Thoughts, opinions, experiences, and stories are all welcome. Ideally, I would like to work in a hospital setting such as Kaiser. Feasibility, however, I'm unsure of. I have to reply to them shortly and am all ears from those who know.
Mahalo!
