They rode the fastest horses. Left the wind behind. Thousand men. And one man led the way. The others followed blind. Genghis Khan. They galloped over mountains and desert sands. They carried desolation throughout the land. And nothing there could stop them in this world.

About half of all psychologists earn at least $67,880 a year or more. But both figures donât reflect the psychologist's area of focus. A criminal psychologist is paid a different scale than, letâs say, a school psychologist. Criminal Justice. A survey by the American Psychology Association in 2009 found that a psychologist in the criminal justice system earned a median wage of just over $80,000 a year. The top 25 percent of criminal psychologists earned roughly $100,000 a year or more, while the bottom 25 percent earned $65,000 a year or less. Education. As with any job, education affects earnings, and a psychologist is no exception. Most psychologists in the criminal justice system need a Psy.D. degree, or a Doctor of Psychology, to practice. But wages increase with a clinical Ph.D. In fact, psychologists with a clinical Ph.D. earn roughly $9,000 more a year than those with a Psy.D., according to the American Psychology Association.
