Can you tell me about being a psychologist?

I have a BS in biology and it's not what I want to do. I've been very confused about what career I want to be in but I do know I want to have a career and not just a "job". I want to be somebody and be ambitious and dedicate myself to something. The money doesn't matter but the profession does. So I started thinking about becoming a psychologist, like a clinical psychologist. The idea of research also interests me but I don't want it to be my main focus, not right away at least... I mean a life of research is what I'm trying to get away from right now as a science/biology major.





What are the different fields of clinical psychology are there and can you describe them?





Do you feel I will make a real difference in people's lives as well as humanity on a whole?

Look up psychology on Wikipedia for a general description of different fields of psychology. You can also go the APA website (www.apa.org) for more info as well.





And yes, psychologists can make a real difference, which is very fulfilling to them.
Reply:Psychology school is a waste of money. You spend tons of money to learn how to say "Mhmmm... I understand. Tell me more." and "How do you feel about that?"

There is a lot of studying to do and earn your PhD then an internship before you join a group or practice. You can do a lot of good and earn a good living at the same time.


Make sure the school is APA rated.
