Fame
"Hey, have you read Dr. Vikram's latest book? I saw her on The Spew this morning. She says she can convince kids to eat broccoli!"
We know, we know...those weaselly pediatricians seem to get all the attention (lookin' at you, Dr. Spock and T. Berry Brazelton). But you don't hear too much about the folks who guard a child's mental health, unless you count that bestselling line of pillowcases with Piaget printed on them. Shmoop would gladly rate Mr. Rogers as one of our top picks, but technically he didn't have the psychology degrees to prove his amazingness.
Still, you might be able to nab four-and-a-half minutes of fame. You could publish a piece of research that shapes the profession or gets you an interview on Comedy Central. Or, maybe the president will put you in charge of reforming the country's educational system. You know, no big whoop.
