Online Psychology Degree Can Lead To Top Jobs As Mental Health Services Increase
(PRWEB) July 5, 2007 -- Recent discoveries that mental healthcare for soldiers returning from battle is greatly inadequate have led to recognition of the general shortage of qualified mental health professionals in the U.S. This will result in thousands of new healthcare jobs for people with advanced degrees in psychology and counseling. CareerSchoolDirectory.com, an online resource for career education and training, recommends that anyone considering going back to school consider an online psychology degree to meet this increasing demand (http://careerschooldirectory.com/pages/medicalhealthcare/psychology.htm).
Getting one of these healthcare jobs will require career training and an advanced degree. CareerSchoolDirectory.com links visitors with top online schools offering master's degrees and doctorates. A psychologist is required to have a doctorate, but a master's degree -- which can take as few as two years to achieve -- is acceptable for many other mental health careers such as counseling and social work. The advanced degree will probably include an internship, and some counseling and healthcare jobs also require students to pass a standardized exam and be licensed.

"The military's mental health system has 'fallen significantly short' of meeting the needs of troops and their families," according to USA Today articles about the results of a year-long, Congressionally mandated task force study. The study results are summarized as saying that more money and people are needed immediately in nearly every area "to care for troops suffering depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress symptoms and other mental health problems."
This forecast increase in military psychologists and counselors will likely be mirrored in the private sector. For instance, BusinessWeek reports that "ignoring employee depression can have a devastating impact on the workplace," and suggests that business owners remove the stigma of having depression and create an employee assistance program that offers counseling to employees anonymously. According to CareerSchoolDirectory.com, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts that job opportunities for psychologists will grow faster than the national general job-growth average (http://www.careerschooldirectory.com/news/2007/04/unlocking_the_secrets_of_the_brain.html).
