What's does your average week look like as a psychologist?

I'm trying to see if pursuing a career in psychology would be a good fit for me. #career

Thank you comment icon When you are thinking of choosing a career whether it is in psychology or something different, some of things you should think about... 1. what really interest you to pursue psychology as career? 2. do you think you would have intrinsic and continuous curiosity/passion for this for a long long time? 3. is there any personal sacrifice or trade off you need to make to educate/train yourself to be a psychology? e,g, years at school, tuition, family etc. 4. Do you have someone to talk to in this same field? And do you have a role model? Sunny Hahn 한정선

Lets group together Felix with me? Lets consider a typical problem area in a classroom. Have you thought about becoming a Teacher?
When I was in training as a teacher in college many years ago teachers had to study psychology and practice in small groups the most damaging classroom student problem.

1>one student teacher was acting the role of the trouble maker.
2>the other 3 teachers were to practice how to communicate with the trouble maker and switch off the trouble maker students disruptive behaviour. We switched roles and practiced the best psychological solutions using the text books suggested by the psychology teacher.

Years later you maybe in a situation and need to fall back on what you learnt as a psychology student in a Teachers Training College and then you too would be able to help your classroom students get back on their feet. Check me out here: https://www.careervillage.org/users/74836/Frank
