[humanser] Revalidating my psychology degree?

[Michael Abell]

Hello Gerardo,
	I am not sure about the credentialing question. I know that your
contribution to the AT field would be welcomed and perhaps you could look to
consultation in the international arena. You sound like a real go-getter, so
I think that you could be quite successful in this field.
	As far as starting over, there is nothing wrong with this. I am 57
and will be in my 60s when I am able to be an independent LPC in my own
practice. I contribute daily and feel like quite a success! The only day
that I feel that I am not working towards my success is the one that I spend
mourning over the time that I could have been working on my career. You are
still a young man with many years to discover new successes. I revel in your
drive and encourage your growth. 


Regards,

Michael “Big Dog” Abell

  HI listers
How easy/hard is to revalidate my Psychology degree and other Diplomas like
Humanistic Counseling etc? My parents spent money on my education here, in
Mexico, and now to think that I'd have to start all over again? 
spending another ten years studying, so when I graduate I'll be like 50? 
Aren't there any tests I could take to validate my studies here in Mexico if
I move to the US? I studied from Elementary through high school in the
States, and returned here to Mexico because of circumstances outside of my
control where I studied my Psychology Major, and other graduate work in
Humanistic Counseling etc. I know this would be off-topic since this is a
psychology and human-services-orientated list, but my goal if I move to the
States again, would be to get into the access Technology field, applying
what I learned in Educational Psychology courses (evaluating the client in
terms of its profile/abilities and other psychological factors to determine
what tech is the best for him/her) thus what would my course of revalidation
and study have to be? Lately Psychology by itself has gotten kind of boring
to be honest with you guys, or might it be because I haven't found the joy
in? I like yes to give one on one sessions and all, and also maybe someday
get into Group Therapy, but technology especially blindness-related, has
become a passion! thus if I could maybe make a difference in someone's live
by this job?
