However, you probably cannot be licensed as a Psychologist without a Doctorate in Psychology.
You can ask instructors who teach Master's level Psychology courses and a career counselor; survey the job market in your intended locale; see the employment ads; and check certain education and career web sites for more, and local, job market information.
