Psychologist

Of course, Bachelor of Arts is an undergraduate course that students of any stream can go for. Understandably, it might be a challenge for the first year, as you will not have learned the basic concepts, but no worries. Psychology is a subject that, if you are interested in the subject genuinely, you can surely catch up. Plus, reading your friends' class 11th and class 12th books might help (if you have the time for that, that is). Best college/university would depend on where you stay, where you are prepared to move, and, of course, your class 10th, class 11th and class 12th standard scores. It is the best, if you research online depending upon your choice of location and subject choices etc. Earning in lacs, well, not immediately, of course. The most lucrative (since you ask about being able to earn in lacs) field in psychology would be Psychiatry, but since you haven't taken Biology, and I assume you don't want to go into Medicine, I won't dwell on that. Other lucrative psychology fields are clinical psychology, sports psychology, forensic psychology, student counselling, industrial-organizational psychology, and neuropsychology. All these are quite lucrative as you climb up the ladder which will happen with time, patience and hard-work. It also depends upon where you are employed, whether you have a private practice or if you are affiliated to a hospital. On an average, psychologists who work in private institutions are paid higher than those who work in government-run institutions. For knowledge sake, the least lucrative fields of psychology are social work, rehabilitation counselling, and child care work.

Every state in the country requires that anyone who earns licensure and wishes to call themselves a clinical psychologist must first have a graduate degree (almost always a Master's degree) in some form of clinical psychology. The majority of psychologists have a doctorate in clinical psychology, though some jobs are available for those with a Masters. To qualify for most graduate programs, students need to have a Bachelors degree in psychology. There are two doctorates available. A Ph.D. in Psychology, or a Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology, which focuses on Science and research
A PsyD, or Doctor of Psychology, which focuses on clinical work. Getting a doctorate takes five to seven years, plus a one-year internship in most cases. Continuing education is required. Many choose to become board-certified. Regards.
