I think the biggest thing about this study was to inform people about the rising student debt, especially in psychology programs. 

Deciding on a school to pursue will have a lot to do with the cost, unfortunately, and it is essential that I know what kind of financial obligation I will be making.  This study shows that PsyD students have the largest debt after graduation with an average debt of $173,000 and a median of $160,000.  Of course I knew school would be expensive, but a big surprise was that some people involved in the study, graduates within the last 10 years, said if they had a chance to do it all over again, some would reconsider their career in psychology.  Stating they were not making what they expected to at that point in their career, and especially not enough to offset the debt. 

I think the focus of my search will remain the same. I didn’t necessarily find one specific author to search, this study contained many, but I do want to continue looking into studies of this nature. 

I feel like my research skills are really improving.  Selecting the Boolean/Phrases on the left side really helped, and so did selecting the related words.  It was nice to find so many results within my search parameters.
