AmritsarHow can I stand out in the field of psychology research?
Hello! I'm going to be earning my Bachelors in Psychology this Spring, and hope to get into the field of clinical psychology (I'll be applying next year to give time to build my resume up). But one thing I'm struggling with is to find/obtain research jobs (or any jobs in general to help build my resume up). I have previous research experience (both 1 year helping in a lab, and undergraduate research projects). If anyone has any advice, or just any job opportunities I should search out for that would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

What courses should I focus on?
I am a high school student going into sophomore year. There are three jobs that I was thinking about perusing in my future, either a radiology technician, a forensic psychologist, or a clinical psychologist. I’ve tried weighing out all the aspects of each job, including the courses I would have to take, the amount of time, the salary, etc. I don’t know which is a better option because even if I’m looking at the same location for say just clinical psychology, each website is saying different things. I was wondering if I could have just a bit of insight on either of them?

What psychology related jobs can you do as a teenager?
Hello! I am fifteen, sixteen in less than a week, and I want to be a clinical psychologist. I love helping people, and while I'd do it for fun. I want something that I can put on a resume or application, especially (but not specifically) if it pays. As someone who struggles with my mental health as well, I know what it's like and it's easy for me to empathize with others. I'm also taking AP Psychology, and I get decent grades, mainly B's with the occasional A, but overall I have a weighted GPA that's over 4. The issue isn't that I don't want to do the research, but that most things relating I what I want to do, rightfully, are for those eighteen and up. It's understandable, because the profession can be very draining, but I still want the experience, not just for college, but to help more people. Is there anything I could do?

I want to know if I should go back to school for a BS or AS in psychology to improve my chances of getting into graduate school later.

California CityHow can an MBBS graduate become a licensed therapist without pursuing a full psychology degree like a Bachelor’s or Master’s?
I’m currently in medical school and passionate about becoming a therapist, not a psychiatrist. I’ve learned that an MPhil in Clinical Psychology is a direct path, but I’m worried I may not meet the eligibility requirements, as most programs require a strong foundation in psychology. Are there alternative pathways for MBBS graduates to transition into therapy while minimizing time spent on additional degrees? Any guidance on how to proceed would be deeply appreciated!

MumbaiHow do I get started in becoming a clinical psychologist?
I'm planning on getting my BA in psychology, and I've been looking at the different careers in that area. I know that to be a clinical pyschologist it would require 7-8 years of school, and I'd have to get a PsyD. From what I've been reading, it's a competitive career and so is getting into a clinical psychology program, especially at the university I want to study at. I'm wondering what the steps would be to get to clinical psychology: grades, experience, etc. Are there also any other careers similar to clinical psychology that I could go into?

San JoseWhat second major or minor should I pair with psychology?
I'm currently a junior in high school and a dual-enrollment student with my local community college. We did an assignment in the CC where we needed to plan out how exactly we would transfer to a four year university. When doing so, I was looking at the college I would like to go to and in their Bachelors degree in psychology, they require a second major, minor, or other "certified program." I'd like to be a clinical psychologist, and I'm not sure which second major or minor (possibly program?) would pair best with the clinical psychology part. I was considering biology, but I'm not sure if it would be better to major or minor in it along with the psychology major. I appreciate any advice or feedback, even if it doesn't fully answer my question. :)
