That's what got me down that path. The APA numbers tell more. The average male is over 10 years older than the average female with a doctorate. The chart keeps skewing faster because the dinosaurs are retiring.

There's almost no men entering the field. Try and find a male at a private practice. Not easy.

Psychiatry is the one where you are a doctor, correct? And psychology is the one that isn't on par with a medical doctor (i.e. psychiatrists can prescribe medication whereas psychologists cannot)?

That's right. also psychiatry focuses on mental illness whereas psychology focuses more broadly on mental wellness
