Hi Arlette,
You can do many different things with a degree in Psychology. For example, with my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, I work as a care coordinator at a mental health clinic. But you could also work in schools, HR, hospitals, and so much more. I would be happy to tell you a bit about an average day working in mental health. As a care coordinator, I may start my day with an appointment at a client's house teaching them coping skills for their diagnosis. Then, I'd go into the office for a team meeting with my colleagues, sit in on some of my clients' doctors' appointments (it is my job to advocate for them and support them during appointments), or complete paperwork and documentation. I'd likely have another appointment at a client's house, where we may discuss life goals for the patient, update treatment plans, and assist in connecting them to social services they qualify for (such as food stamps, housing benefits, etc.). Or, if they want their families involved, we may have sessions where we talk with the family members together about what their diagnosis means and what to expect going forward. It may be challenging, but it is very rewarding! If you love connecting one-on-one with others and making meaningful change in others' lives, this may be the career field for you.

As a consultant, my daily routine may vary, but generally includes the following responsibilities. First, I review correspondence, mainly emails, and organize new tasks for myself and my team in order of priority. Then, I dialogue with my team to discuss their priorities and make sure everyone is aligned. I am also in charge of following up with other teams to resolve any obstacles that may affect our tasks. Additionally, I keep stakeholders informed of our progress. Finally, I coordinate with other teams to ensure the project is on track to meet state expectations and needs.
