7. Psychologists – Average Salary: $65,000

People seek help from psychologists for a number of reasons, but the reason they go is usually because they believe these doctors can help them. A Psychologist meets with their clients and then uses their knowledge and research to diagnose their mental condition and make recommendations based on their findings. They may also be called on to diagnose emotional disorders or whether an individual is capable of processing certain information. The requirements in states vary, but most require a Ph. D. degree as well as a license to practice psychology in that state. As you can see, that’s a lot of weight on the shoulders of a Psychologist. That’s why it’s surprising they can expect to only make $65K a year on average.
