[nabs-l] Question about becoming a TVI

[Ryan L. Silveira]

Hi Kaiti,
I have seen many people go into the TVI field with psychology degrees, as well as several other bachelors degrees. It is definitely possible. Yes, most TV eyes do have a bachelors degree in education or somesuch fields, but anything really will do. One can get a masters in anything at all no matter what the bachelors. As long as they take the required classes, it's no problem.
