Hello all!
I was recently admitted to two doctoral programs in clinical psychology, both of which are unfunded. Between loans and scholarships I've got the tuition covered, but I'm wondering, how does anyone survive while in the program?? How do they pay for day to day expenses while remaining fully committed? I'm nearly finished with my masters degree in counseling psychology for licensure as an MFT (similar to LPCC in California), so I was hoping to continue working with clients while completing my doctorate. Is this totally unrealistic? What kind of funding opportunities/ jobs should I look for? Any input is helpful.
