Career in Psychology?

Let me assure you that psychology is a very interesting field. But, because there are so many people who are attracted to this field in order to solve their own presonal problems, the profession is overrun and the salaries are low. Yes, of course there are those that have succeeded on TV, e.g. Dr. Phil, but they are the exception.

There are some options for you, in different fields.

In the treatment field, you can work in education institutions, programs for kids or teenagers in distress or from broken homes, you can work with addicted people and so on.

You can also turn to the buisness field and work at the area of personal- training, occupation- programs, assigning companies etc.

You can be a teacher for psychology in schools and maybe even a school counselor.

There are many ways in which to capitalise upon your strengths.

As well as doing a degree in psychology, there are many access courses and hybrid post-graduate courses available to those trained in a differet discipline. So unless your absolutely psoitive that you will end up in a directly related field in 10 years time (the post above has good schematic on that), then I wouldn't get tunnel vision on a psychology bachelors (assumiing you havent started already!).

Broadly speaking, being a psychologist (that covers quite a lot; academic research, psychotherapist, mental health advisor) and teaching are the mainstay of a psychology based career. But a degree in psychology does not have to lead to one of those, it can lead to many other possibilities after you have studied for a few years and gotten a clearer picture of what it is you want.

This article might be of help: "What types of Careers are available to Psychology Majors?" . But I think you should develop the habit of "liking" math because it definitely goes with the field.
