I will spend three years in school getting a Masters level counseling degree versus five years (only two more) getting a Ph.D. But that’s three years of 20-25 hours of work per week, versus five years of 60 hours per week. Pursuing a Masters degree allows me to have a part-time job and, more importantly, to spend time with my children.

It’s a whole lot of time and money, and you end up at the bottom of the insurance pay ladder. Psychiatrist would have been the same level of effort, paid very well, and would grant the respect of being an actual doctor. Hindsight is 20/20.
