that's a hard one. They both get paid pretty shitty. I'd say a good psychologist after years of experience

Nurse
Psychology you have to get a doctorate to do anything substantial.

I know people with psych degrees that work in hotels and restaurants.

On a note.. a nurse does not get paid shitty. RNs are in great demand and you can get paid even more if you are willing to travel and work in different hospitals periodically.

Addition.. I was talking about a BACHELORS degree in psychology

of course a nurse....

Nurses get good money but work their butts off! Physically AND mentally.

Psychologists get gooder money but don't do physical work nor do they have the stress of patients regularly dying.
So there.

anesthesiologist make the big bucks!

Of course in this question it would be the psychologist, the one with the doctorate degree. The variable here is where you are and what the pay scale is in that area.

In Australia it would be a nurse assuming they are both salaried employees

of coarse you know the doctor wouldhae the most money. why would you ask this? why would you consider nurse if you can hae the other? well its best to be the best you can and go for it
