About

A psychologist is a specialist who evaluates and helps people treat any form of mental, behavioral, educational, emotional or developmental disorders. There has been a big taboo in many counties that becoming a psychologist means you’ll be treating mad or insane people. But in reality, it is the single profession where you actually get to experience the various wonders a person can think about or in general how a human brain responds in certain situations based on their previous experiences.

Jobs Outlook

  • The demand for clinical, counseling, and school psychologists is expected to grow by 3 percent over the next decade while the demand for social scientists is expected to grow by 4 percent.
  • It is a career which you can practice in any state or country as it is related to human behaviour and humans are everywhere.
  • Psychologists must be adaptable, flexible, and creative, and perhaps most important, willing to apply existing skills and talents to new career paths as such a career can be very emotionally demanding since you have to listen to the deepest of issues of people and at times also have to dig deeper into parts you may not be comfortable with.
