Should I get a masters degree in psychology and specialize in substance abuse counseling? Should I get a masters in counseling and specialize in substance abuse counseling? Or should should I get a masters in social work?

I think any of those are fine.. I’d go with either the psych or counseling with the specialization in substance abuse over social work. I think the main thing is to try and obtain a masters, most jobs require that in the psych/counseling field.
Freshman in High School, I Want to Be a Psychologist?
Question by : Freshman in high school, I want to be a psychologist?
So I just started my freshman year at a vocational school in Massachusetts. I really really really want to be a psychologist when I grow up. So the first step to achieving my goal would be to pick the right shop for my high school career. But I don’t know what one to chose. My school does offer a psychology class as an elective, but I can’t take it until senior year. The actual shops that I’m considering the most so far are
Health Occupations, because it focuses on general medical. but I don’t know how relevant it would be to psychology. But it would be good background at least, right?
Child Education, because I would be working with actual people, learning how they learn. but that shop focuses on children up to only 7 years old. I want to work with teens and young adults, issues like drug addiction, you know, all the juicy stuff. (lol)

This would be in Boston, MA. A friend of mine would like to start a recovery home for women. She has a lot of experience in the field of alcohol and drug addiction but has not had any certification in the field. Thanks for your help.

Answer by Leelee36016
On first thought I was thinking she don’t have to get any certification but license to run that type of business and start accepting the women.
Maybe she could get something in the field of Social Work, Human Services, Psychology or Rehabilitation.
