Depends on education: I am guessing that your question has to do with considering psychology as a field to go in to. The possibilities depend on education. A bachelors degree provides limited options. A masters or pH.D. Opens up more doors. Let me know more specifically what you are asking.

Depends: Depending on the laws of the particular state, a master's level clinician may be able to practice independently in a limited capacity or may be required to practice under the supervision of a licensed doctoral-level psychologist. Some psychological testing can only be administered by doctoral-level psychologists or those with specialized training typically only obtained in a doctoral program.

A LOT!: Clinical psychology involves direct client care by diagnosing behavioral and mental issues and then devising ways to treat or "work through" these issues in an effort to improve the clients overall functioning. You could open up a private practice, perform testing, teach at the university level, perform research, consult in business or primary care, or work in a hospital, clinic, prison or school.
