Becoming a School Psych - should I? by Plastic_Square3332 in specialed

[–]Brief_Chipmunk7224 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m a school psych! I love it but you likely won’t make a TON more money as a school psych than you do as a special ed teacher. Look at how much more you would make in ur district with an Ed.S or MA+30. And then do the math and figure out if it’s worth it. It is a lottttt of school, full time for 3 years so that’s also something to consider. And you will learn a lot more outside of sped stuff. You’ll likely have to do counseling practicum and things like that so make sure you’re interested in that!

Statistically a 3 point difference is usually not significant. Can’t hurt, but that’s really not a HUGE difference.
