I really don't know about the situation in India. Are people prone to go to see psychologists there? We have a fair number of doctors from places like India who work in the States. I'm not sure what that means!

I know some parents worry that people will think they did something wrong in bringing up their children if one of them wants to be a psychologist. I know an aunt and uncle of mine didn't want my cousin to become one. But she is now a clinical psychologist married to a clinical psychologist.

As far as money, it depends on where you practice. My general thinking is that clinical psychologists make the most money in the counseling field, and probably clinical social workers the least.

Other folks have any data on this topic?
