Psychology masters
Hi!
I’m currently in my final year of psych with counselling, and I’ve applied to masters in speech and language therapy, it’s a lot more competitive than I anticipated and although I really want to do it I’m not too sure I’ll get!
Ive got an offer for neuroscience and neuroimaging and although this is something I’m interested in I’m also wondering if there’s any psychology masters that will allow you to get a job straight after without completely a PhD? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you

Based on my understanding of this (which is vague because psychology careers hate to have simple, straightforward career paths!), a masters really doesn't qualify you to work in anything directly. Like you'll still have to do a DClinPsy or DForPsy or any of the other endless vocational doctorates out there, and to get into those you didn't even really need a masters. Or you can train as a therapist of some kind, but again, to do that you don't need a masters. For a shocking amount of them, you don't even need a psychology degree...
Basically, a masters won't lead you to any guaranteed jobs in psychology, and they are not really necessary in the first place, although they might be nice to do for the sake of learning.
