Abstract
While most school psychologists who complete specialist-level training are employed in the schools, individuals who hold the doctoral degree and attain licensure may also be employed in hospitals, private practice, postsecondary institutions, and other settings. This chapter reviews career opportunities in school psychology as well as considerations for choosing a graduate education program, coursework, field experiences, and other training opportunities aligned with these career paths. Additionally, strategies for representing one’s professional qualifications and experiences (i.e., through the development of a résumé or curriculum vitae) are provided.
