How long are the clinical psychology masters & PhD programs?
How long are these programs? I've also heard that in some universities, Masters and PhD programs are combined, and therefore result in less years to become a psychologist. Is this true? If so, which universities, Canadian or American, offer this?

Two years for the Masters, four years for the doctorate, plus internship and dissertation, which can take several more years. Good luck.

Should I pursue a major in Psychology? A master's
Should I pursue a major in Psychology? A master's?
I am a junior in high school and am very interested in going into the Psychology field. So far, Developmental Psychology sounds best, but I've just begun learning. Any advice from those who are working towards/have already obtained a Masters in the field or higher? Is there a big need for Psychologists like there is for nurses?

I would stick with being a psychologist.

I don't know much at all on the subject, but I was doing a google search on the topic not long ago and found this website, although I don't know if it will help. http://www.jobfutures.ca/noc/4151.shtml It's on psychologists.

Psych is the fastest growing medical field today. As for a degree, it depends. Do you want to do research or teach? Then get a Phd. Do you want to open a private practise? Then a Masters is fine. You can also choose to work as a social worker (Masters of Social Work) or for state mental health system (BA with Phych emphasis). Or you can go into the medical field with a degree in Psychiatry (you have to get a BA and then go to med school for this). Good luck!

In my experience, only a Ph.D in Psych allows you to do anything other than testing, etc. You need clinical experience to do therapy...I got an MA in Guidance and Counseling in '74, got a lot of clinical training and got to work with very troubled adolescents, young women and guys, for 21 yrs. VERY rewarding work!!!

It depends. It takes a MINIMUM of two years, but for most people it can take three or four. Psychology is not your run-of-the-mill Masters program. It depends a lot on what school you go into, what you focus on, whether you take summer classes, and your own work ethic. What is more, the Masters degree in Psychology has lost a lot of value over the years. You may find yourself going after that doctoral degree in the end, and then you can slap on another three to five years. But if that is what you like to do, it is a great career and well worth it. Good luck!

A masters usually takes 2 years after you finish your BA (about 3-4 years)
3
Well assuming you finish your undergrad degree in about 4 years, a masters usually takes about 2 more after that.
4
have a bachelor's degree; complete at least a master's degree in psychology (2-3 years); complete an internship if you do counseling; pass a licensing exam if you do counseling; Some psychologists have just a master's degree. If you are an industrial-organizational psychologist this is the required degree in the field. For most other types of psychologists, a master's degree prepares you to be an assistant, but not the lead research or counselor. Clinical and counseling psychology students complete an internship while in school. As an intern, you work with clients and an experienced psychologist supervises your work. Internships last from one to two years depending on the degree you are earning. An internship is usually required to become a licensed psychologist. Employers require educational psychologists to have at least a master's degree and have completed a one-year internship. Most industrial/organizational psychologists need a master's degree.

Petowner psychology!! Master or Slave
Petowner psychology!! Master or Slave?
While chatting with a friend about which dog I would like to have as a pet, he commented,"People who want dogs, like to be masters. People who get cats end up serving them." I know a dog owner who sits for hours in a cramped position because her lab has gone to sleep on her knee. Doesn't sound too masterful to me. But what do you think?

I own 2 rabbits. I am their slave. That's reality

Your friend is right in a joking sense, but we are usually the ones who become very wrapped up in our animals. We should be the master no matter what animal we have a pet. It makes the relationship more harmonious.
