Career Choice

The career path that I intend on following is psychology. Psychology really interests me because I like to study the mind and behavior of animals and humans and why we act the way we do. Basically what a psychologist does is study the behavior of people and animals in an effort to understand, compare, and explain why they act and respond in certain ways. They collect and apply knowledge related to the mental, emotional, and behavioral characteristics of individuals and groups. They make around $50,582-$93,314 a year which isn't bad considering that a lot of psychologist are self- employed. Psychologists may work alone, with social workers, with other psychologists, or with psychiatrists or other physicians. They may also work with parents, teachers, counselors, administrators, and others. Employment settings include college classrooms, hospitals, correctional institutions, clinics, private offices, schools, businesses, and government agencies.

  3. I love to learn about how the brain works and why we act the way we do, though I don't know if I could do it as a full-time job. It seems like a very interesting and exciting field to go into to.

  4. That would be a pretty interesting career figuring out how the mind works and why people do what they do, or why animals act the way they do. Hope all goes well for you in this career.
