First of all hello to all. I am new to the forum and am looking forward to learning from all the experience in the "room". Also, to avoid stepping on any toes I'd like to apologize in advance if my question(s) have been asked before. I assure you I have scanned the posts and did a seach and did not find a helpful answer. So on with it I guess...
I have been in the USAF for 15 years and my 20 year career will soon be over. I am very interested in the field of Marriage and Family Therapy, and have been looking at a few masters programs. I have pretty much been able to find answers to most of my questions along the way. But the area I amunsure of is the required 2yr period of supervision one must go through prior to being fully licensed. This is a requirement in the State of Texas where I plan to live and practice; and I gather it is pretty much a standard requirement thoughout the country.
My question/ concern revolves around pay. While undergoing this 2yr period under supervision would I be paid or is an unpaid internship-type situation? And if paid does anyone know what the going rate for a MFT "in-training" is? I know what the pay range if for fully licenced MFT from the BLS.gov website, but I am curious about the pay for those in training, racking up the hours required to be fully licenced.
Any info here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all for the help!
