Hey reddit,
I recently applied for master's programs in educational psychology, but am wondering what kind of work experience I can get in the meantime. The programs I applied to are part-time, so I should be able to work while I'm studying.
What have other people done to get experience before their programs? Are there any positions that will let you apply with a Bachelor's degree?
I appreciate the help in advance!
