2 Comments on “How Much Do Clinical Neuropsychologists Make in 2021 (including Starting Salary)”
8 plus years in school for just $ 90k +, I would rather be a nurse where LPN makes 56k+$ a year , Rn $65k+ a year nurse practitioners *$85k to $140k a year or Anesthetic nurse who makes $ 150k up to 200k plus a year.
Yeah, you’re right. A nurse would be a better career path in terms of the $ you can make for the training you get. If you don’t mind 8 years for medical school and want a higher paying career, a GP or Anesthesiologist (150k to 200k salary) is something to consider too.
