Social Science - 11 October 2006

I'm currently a sophomore in University, and I'm majoring in Psychology. I aspire to someday become a practicing psychologist, and I suspect that it is my ideal profession. The way I see it, being a psychologist is something like being a teacher--teaching people on a one-to-one level how to understand themselves and live their lives so that they can be happy. I also get this sneaking suspicion that there are a lot of not-so-good psychologists in the field, and I think I could become one who really changes people's lives.

For anyone with a career in the psychology field, what's it like? How does it feel? What does your job consist of? What are the pros and cons? Is it what you expected?

Thanks.

What are you opinions on why people in yahoo answers belittle those who ask a question and presume them to be of little intelligence? How else is someone meant to learn or see what other people's opinions are if they do not ask?

They werent slaves themselves so why should we have to pay. I do understand that their families were mistreated. The majority of my family will killed in Germany during WWII in the gas chambers and you don't hear us going after the current German government. I think that welfare has been enough reparations for them!
