I am looking to receive some advice on what would be an optimal post-internship position for an individual who will be ABD for a semester? And of course, suggestions on how to find such positions. Thanks!

A) no job, work full-time finishing your dissertation

B) neuropsychology technician, part-time
advantages: ~$20 an hour, no take home work (i.e., no reports)

C) behavioral analyst
advantages: ~$30 an hour, limited take home work

D) Walmart greeter

You could also look into postdoc positions, some of them do not require that you complete your dissertation prior to beginning; the downside is that you can't accrue "postdoctoral hours" toward license / board eligibility until you complete your dissertation. You'd have to check with each individual postdoc to see if they accept ABD's.
