Has anyone here done a masters in psychology?
My only real qualification is a bachelors of psychology, and I've been out of university and unemployed for coming on two and a half years now. There's absolutely nothing I have a strong desire to do or follow, and I have no interests or hobbies to base any deductions off of. Just trust me, I've though about this stuff a lot for a long time.
Here in Ausfailia psychology is a huge growth industry without enough """specialists""" in it to fill demand. It's also rather highly paid (not that I care about that, I could live fine on pleb income and have no need to support a family or anything, nor in the future). Thing is, I absolutely hated doing my degree to the very core of my being and barely passed, and I want nothing less than to return to doing it. But, all my many job applications have come to nothing (95% not even responding regardless of contact method) and as mentioned there's nothing else above retail slavery that I could do. And if it's not obvious enough, I hate interacting with people and would do a bad job in such a role while wanting to end my life every day.
What kind of thing(s?) does an APA-registered fauxcter actually *do*, and how plausible is it to get to doing those things with a masters?

One of my friends has a masters in psych, and I'm a kiwifag so I imagine our environment is similar to yours. I can tell you that the lucrative jobs, or any of the jobs, are really only available if you have a degree in CLINICAL psychology. A regular psychology degree is about as useless as something like philosophy or English due to the sheer volume of people who study it. That said, a masters is better than a bachelors since there is a high research component.

Clinical psychology... so like, actual "hi you fucked up person, what's your problem I have to listen to today"?

You have a bachelors in psychology and you don't know what clinical psychology is?
And to answer your question, yes. Therapy and psychiatry is clinical psychology.
