Post 5: My Future Job

 

I think I’ve always wanted to have a job that’s connected to people, and more aimed toward helping, it’s for this reason that I decided to study psychology. I’m very passionate about everything that I’ve been taught up to this moment, and I hope I continue in this vein having finished university. I imagine myself working maybe with teenagers, in that case it could be at a school, although I also see myself with my own consulting room.

I’m really not sure of how necessary it is to have an office, working as a psychologist, I think that will depend on the area that we work on. in the case of working at a school, it’s more likely that I will have to count on something like an office, but I think the most important thing is to have the space required for the rest of people to get along naturally, and in that sense an office can push them further, rather than bringing them closer, and in the same way, it must be done in a closed space that offers peace, so it could not be done outdoors, though sure, there are lots of ways to apply psychology, so this is just a general idea.

I’d really like to be able to travel, but this is not entirely necessary in the area that I want to specialize myself in, which is clinical or educational psychology, because I haven’t yet decided. I like these areas because, as I said before, I want to work with teenagers, and I also hope to get involved with people more directly.

Lots of people look sown on psychology because it’s not very profitable, since it’s considered as something that’s easy to study, or simply as people believe that it has no use, but studying it has made me realize that it’s a job that requires a lot of skill.
