oh please, 38 is a pup. In my Ph.D. program there were people from 25 to 55.
And remember, those years will pass anyway. You might as well put them to good use right?
In my opinion, if you go Ph.D. it doesn't really matter where you go to school, but the quality of the work that you produce to earn your degree.
That, of course, would not be true if you went for clinical psychology as the strength of the program would determine the strength of your degree.
I don't know how it works in psychology, but for most medical science degrees, I would advise going straight for the Ph.D. Most programs do not require a master's thesis prior to the terminal degree. As a result, you get out 2-3 years quicker with a Ph.D., than if you started as a master's student and then went Ph.D.
