35 hours billed / week making around 100K sounds like a poor business person.

Re-read what I originally wrote. I never said "around," I said "over." The guy didn't give me specific numbers, just that it was in the six-figs.

The point of the post was that at least with my approximately dozen inquisitions, about two were doing very well financially. Not a scientific survey by any stretch of the imagination, but just something to think about.

I think people also need to realize that starting out, you will likely have to work with/for someone else so that you have a referral base. When you do that, you not only share 'overhead' costs, but also pay for the referral base that the clinicians before you worked hard to get; often this can be 40-50%; do the math, and I think you'd agree that it would be a tough road to the 'big-bucks' right out of your graduate program. Unless you are in a geographical location crying for psychologists and you can just 'hang a shingle' based on your degree, I think it's worth making only cautious predicted incomes.
