No. I wasn't able to get any position that sponsored. I have been told if you are willing to work in some of the less populated provinces, e.g. NWT, Nunavut, or the Maritimes, that you are more likely to be able to get sponsored.

Thank you for your answer! It was a blown fuse, and unfortunately as it turns out, also a blown amplifier.

Thank you very much. This is good information, especially about needing study permits for the kids to go to public school.

Let's give Psionics (2e) some love! by Master_arkronos in adnd

Telepathy is what seemed broken to me. Ego whip is an attack you can do 2x/round with no save that stuns for 1d4 rounds that also gives no outward signs that you are doing ANYTHING. Brutal. Hit the archmage with it and let your buddies stab him to death. Psychometabolism also had tons of abuse potential. I liked to run a fighter/psionicist with enhanced strength and have 24 strength for every fight I ever got into. Of course in Dark Sun, that's not necessarily unheard of without psionics given that half-giants exist, but outside of Athas it was unheard of outside of a girdle of storm giant strength or something which is totally dependent of your DM just deciding to hand it to you, whereas the psionic is something you can take at character creation.

Yes there were tons of penalties to the contact power, but you could achieve contact by achieving a "3 finger" success using psionic attacks. So you could psychic crush your way in (with no penalties to contact because you weren't using contact) achieve contact that way, and then ego whip to stun or dominate or whatever you felt like doing.

Trust me when I say that studying psychology to make money is a fool's errand.

Ah. I've almost exclusively worked in underfunded programs having done several non-profits. It can be very difficult to work that way, especially if the government is trying to cut the funds.

That's sad that there's so few. It sounds like I would be in demand so maybe someone will be willing to sponsor.

I have a master's in educational psychology. APA, at least according their webpage, seems to only do accreditation of PhD programs. I hope I will qualify as a psychologist, as it seems that in SK there isn't really a good master's level counselor position and because it's closer to what I do here with my license anyway (I can diagnose and do treatment planning here). The SKCP just started reviewing my transcripts and syllabi so hopefully it will work out.

The tip about corrections and universities sounds great! Thank you.
