which career is best ?

Question

im still in school and starting to think what to do in future?
psycotherapy intrests me most is this a good job?

Answer 1

Based on my college and work experience, a bachelor's in psychology does not get you very far.. at least here in Texas. I've met people working as hotel maids with psychology degrees.. bartenders also. If it interests you, you must go beyond bachelors to do such things.. masters and phd. It's a big commitment so be sure that's what you really want to do.

Answer 2

Without much experience of life - do not even think of psycotherapy.. especially since much of it is based on the difficult to prove and now largely discredited ramblings of one Sigmund Freud.. even that aside though, as I say, a large experience of life is generally needed in order to truly help your clients so at the very least leave this kind of career choice til much later..

Good luck whatever you decide.. as a rough guide though choose a career you would do even if you did not need the money. Also try to be realistic, although in school you may be given the impression that all you need to do is study hard and choose the career you want, often in the big wide world this proves to be so not the case so stay flexible and true to yourself.

Answer 3

if this is something that interests you a lot, then why not? psychotherapy is quite some area to get into- i don't know anything about it to be perfectly honest with you but you need to discuss your plans with a careers advisor, once you get to college that is. from there on, he or she will be able to talk you through the steps you should take, in order for you to fulfil this ambition. although always have a plan b; in other words if a few years later you decide that psychotherapy doesn't interest you anymore and/ or its not an area you want to concerntrate on and move onto another career field, make sure you know what you want to do, in terms of career and stick with it. but from what i've read, it sounds as if you know what you're doing and you are determined to become something you've always wanted to be, which could be a psychotherapist, but there are other jobs in that particular field that you can go into as well.

remember, do what you feel is best for you- and don't do it just because something told you to do so. at the end of the day, its your life, regardless of what other people say.

i wish you the best of luck!

Answer 4

When I was at school I wanted to be a nurse during the day and a prima ballerina in the evenings.

Suffice to say I'm neither of those things now - don't worry too much - just have fun thinking about all the possiblities and consider everything - the sky's the limit!

Answer 5

If you want to earn an obscene amount of money try being a plumber, failing that and dependent on whether or not you are a caring person, a Doctor. If you want to sit on your rear end and do absolutely nowt and be paid up to £90,000 a year, work for your local council changing traffic light bulbs. This applies to British Councils of course, every other country, presumably,. makes their employees work for their money.

Answer 7

Any job is a good as the person doing it.If this is what you want to do,look very closely at the pro's and cons of it.Also look at something similar in the same fields

Answer 8

Yes it is but it is difficult to get into and requires a lot of studying, my daughter is considering this as an option, the school have told her to take psychology A' level after she has finished her GCSE's, I hope this helps.

Answer 9

I would imagine it is a fascinating job with a lot of personal rewards such as knowing that you have made a difference to somebodys life. Why don't you talk to your careers advisor and ask her to put you in touch with somebody who is doing a course or is actually working as one.

Answer 10

you should choose a career that you have an interest in and expand on it...i dont think you should take a certain career just becoz it sounds cool..its a big decision and at the end of the day you'd rather do something that you enjoy doing..
