Thanks everyone for your responses to my original question. I'm now facing this as a reality rather than a hypothetical. I did really well in a class on substance abuse and now have the opportunity to work with the professor. The problem is, he does only pre-clinical work with rats. It's very hardcore, he publishes a ton. But he's really in the department of anesthesiology at the med school here, not even psych. ARGH. Now I have to decide if I can deal with doing very bad things to rats. Stupid science and its stupid infiltration into psychology.
I'm a non-trad student coming from a law background, and when I decided to change careers I decided that the first thing I needed to do was find an RA job in psych. However, when you have no background in psych whatsoever (and I wasn't a psych major) it's really hard to find an RA job.
