Lately I've been thinking about what I want to do for a career. Currently I'm a dental technician (CAD design for dental restorations). I like it enough to be doing it now, and I'm able to make ends meet but frankly I don't think this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
I've been thinking about going back to school and getting a degree in psychology, and eventually a PhD. I want to have a diagnostic practice specializing in ASD, ADD, ADHD and other developmental disorders that is geared towards minorities, non-native English speakers and financially disadvantaged families, since all of these groups tend to be under-diagnosed and don't receive the support or services that they need, and wind up incarcerated for one reason or another. There's a lack of accessible and affordable practices for these communities and I'd like to be able to offer my services at reasonable rates. I'd also like to also specialize in diagnosing adults with Autism since there are so few psychologists who do so.
Anyway, I'm not really sure how to go about starting such an endeavor. I'd like to get my undergraduates online, but I don't know which universities offer a completely online BS in psychology. Do you guys have any idea where I should start looking?
