Chickpea,
I am posting from the United States. I am still trying to decide if I want to do research psychology or clinical psychology but my advisor told me that either way I have to do to a doctorate level of education. Thank you for your help, I really didn't know where to go to get information and my advisor is really busy this semester so I cannot talk to her. I appreciate your input.

I am currently pursuing my bachelors in Family and Consumer Science with a concentration in Human Development and a minor in Psychology. The reason I am not getting my B.S in psychology is because I am a transfer student and that program wouldn't accept hardly any of my credits. After I get my bachelors I planned on going to get my masters in Counseling. However I really want to become a Psychologist and I know that I have to have my PhD for that. Would I be able to get my PhD in Psychology after having a masters in Counseling, or should I just get my masters in psychology and then straight to my PhD in psychology? I really wanted to have a break between my masters and my PhD to start a family and do other things, but if I have to put that on hold I will.
