Master's in psychology.

In Reply to: DSM-IV is about to bite the dust and the DSM-V is on its way. sm - Degree in psychology too! (Master's)
Is it just me, or do the posters who are claiming to have master's degrees in psychology seem to be the ones who are completely confused, angry, and irrational? It seems that they are the ones most in need of psychoanalysis. Heaven help anyone who actually who actually tries to get help from these nut jobs! By the way, I assume nut job is politically incorrect, but I don't don't give a flying...

I've interviewed Indian MT's. Most have two master's. Most Indians have two master's
it is part of their government's specific plan of action for positioning India to be at the forefront of the global economy.

Psychology Transcription?
Hey all,
I am trying to find out how to get into psychology transcription as a somewhat new MT. I originally had started out going to school as a psych major, but I wasn't sure it was what I wanted to do. So instead of going to school for 8 years and deciding I hated it, I stopped. I then went back to school for a year to become an MT, because I missed being around the healthcare scene, but I have never quite been able to muster up the courage to become a nurse or other hands-on staff member. I have now decided that although I enjoy being an MT, I also want to finish my psych degree.
Anyways, I would love to get into transcribing for a psychologist. Does anyone know if that is possible for a new MT or do they usually look for seasoned MTs? Would I be better off trying to work for a local psychologist or are there MTSOs that cater specifically to them?
Any info is appreciated. Thanks!
Interior design? Psychology? sm
There are some degrees that are great, but will require a Master's or higher to make you rise above the rest. You also need internships and other experiences to help.
And there are others that are definitely not "worthless" (though I don't think ANY degree is worthless), including nursing, physical therapy, and others. You're pretty much assured of a great job with those.
psychology terms and tests
anyone know of a good website to get some basic psych. terms, tests, etc? I am soon to start a new psych account, and have done very few psych reports of any kind....thanks for any input!
Bonus Psychology from MTSO POV
On the one hand, two part-time no benefit people would be cheaper in some ways. Plus they could tag-team a work schedule for greater coverage ability if they're both working 24 hours/week because that would add up to 6-7 days per week coverage instead of 5.
On the other hand, one dependable full-time busting her rump to get 350 LPH for a bonus paid in peanuts (most likely) is fewer headaches for scheduling - just one person to call off instead of two, just one person to need every Saturday off instead of two, plus the pleasure of watching that one person work like a fiend in order to try to make that quota.
Throw in a few No-Job-Available days for the one person, such that she can't make her bonus quota, and you've got yourself a winner there!

I don't know that you necessarily HAVE to have a master's. sm
I had never heard of the existence of such a major the first time I went to college 15 years ago or I would have gone for it then, but I have since come across schools that offer it as a bachelor's degree. The prgoram I'm in is an online degree program from a university in another state than I live.
I don't have a straight answer for you on what the demand is for someone with this training. A lot of jobs ask for broad qualifications...like, "a degree in English, communications, or related field," so I figure that's me, LOL. It's probably something where you have to have an idea of WHAT you want to do and then find a way to get there, rather than to wait for an opening to appear.
Go into your master volume on your computer....
make sure in playback control that your wave playback is not muted and the volume is up there.
Hope this helps!
Not what I'm watching. Only has been is that stupid Master P

Master Bedroom--one day will have my own space though - sm
probably in 5 or so years....going to move and build on some property we have 12 miles from where we are now....so it with either be an extra bedroom or "the study" downstairs. My husband will be happier as he has trouble falling to sleep when I am working (noisy/hard keyboard).
Master Gardener Program
I am considering enrolling in a Master Gardener program. Does anyone have any experience with this? I would love to hear from you if you do or know anyone who does. Thanks!
Working on Master's in counseling and sm
I have had a hiatus of nearly 3 years. I could not decide if this is where I really wanted to go. Recently, I put myself back in therapy with my last therapist after a 5-year hiatus to help me decide. Two sessions and I can see the clear path back to it and yes, this is my "true calling."
I feel pushed to get out of MT because my hands are suffering after 15 years of this. I have 3 autoimmune disorders too. I am having energy problems and focus problems...pain and all that comes with AIs. I have trouble with consistently good line counts and I am working 2 jobs out of sheer boredom with the entire thing. It has nothing to do with no making as much money or ASR or any of it. It is my body telling me to move along. I also believe I would be happier as a counselor.
I am working towards my master's and I don't transcribe any longer.

What do you need a Master's Degree in to be a science writer?

I am starting back in my Master's program in the fall sm
I don't have to work too long of hours to get my $3200 a month, the problem is that ONE THIRD of it goes for taxes and insurance (ins portion is a big old $130 a month of that 1/3).
I can't sit still most days, although I do all right money wise. I am knowing that this is a dying career choice and what I am going into is not. It is not medical either, which is just fine. I have had careers as a banker, a child care provider, a dressmaker and now an MT. All very different and so, I feel like I can go and be a mental health professional and like it. I have so many people who come to me with their problems, it isn't even funny. Even my last therapist has started coming to me for things. Honestly, if this is the case I should be getting paid for my time. I need to go and get some more initials behind my name. I only have a BA there now, and this will be MS...
Associate in Applied Medical Science, Bachelor's in Liberal arts with emphasis on Psychology
and looking for a way to get out of MT before voice rec takes over!
Kids are grown and gone and I no longer need to be home all day. The cats don't need as much supervision as the kids did.
Does anyone know why the wave volume control on my master volume controls... SM
on my PC would turn itself all the way down? It's driving me nuts! It's like it resets itself to the low possible setting and when I go to work, I'm turning my speakers up full blast trying to hear and when I check my volume controls on my PC, the wave setting is turned all the way down. I turn it back and everything is loud and clear and I have to turn my speakers back down and then I'll do something the internet and BOOM it resets itself!
I feel bad because I've been accusing my kids of messing with the controls and they have been swearing they didn't do it and I haven't exactly believed them, but it has happened twice to me this evening while I'm working and I know no one else has touched my PC but me.
