Wayne Imber on the Jobs You Can Get With a Psychology Degree

I have been a college professor teaching psychology for almost 8 years now and in those 8 years I have witnessed a sharp decline of people wishing to take on psychology as a major. My colleague Wayne Imber and I were scratching our heads as to why this was, so we checked out some recent research on the subject. The biggest reason that came from the study,  in terms of why people don’t want to study psychology, is because they believe that there is no really career path for them. Not only is psychology an absolutely fascinating subject to study, where you will learn about the inner workings of the human mind and behaviors, there are also many different types careers which you can embark upon after finishing your studies. Let’s take a look at some of the jobs you can get with your psychology degree.

Therapist

One of the most obvious choices of course is to go into therapy and work as a doctor of psychology, a very popular career choice for many of our students. Working as a therapist you will be helping many people with mental health issues, grief, historical issues, addiction and any number of psychological problems which people may have. This can be a tough but very rewarding career choice that many people enjoy.

Counseling

Being a therapist requires a doctorate but if you simply want to help people to talk through their issues and help them to become better people, you could look at becoming a counselor. Counselors are used by many people across the country who don’t feel at their best and want to use psychological techniques to improve themselves and their lives.

Private Companies

A great many private companies use people who are trained in psychology to work closely with their staff members. This is more prominent in industries such as finance, where there are many people working under huge amounts of pressure. The company will have you working in-house to help the employees with any issues which they may have. Furthermore, the companies like to use therapists and psychologists, to increase the output of their staff by making them better people with more belief and more confidence. You don’t necessarily have to work in the public sector once you have graduated, there are many positions in the private sector which you can also find careers using your psychology degree.

Teaching

My own personal story is one which you could also follow, as soon as I graduated I wanted to share the knowledge that I had learned and teach people about psychology. I started working in the university around 2 years after graduating and I am now a part time professor and spend the rest of my time writing books about the subject. Having knowledge is one thing but being able to share it is something truly special.

Awesome Ways To Make Money Online

Source

Are you planning to head out on an awesome trip to end all trips soon and you aren’t sure how you might be able to save as well as make some money on the road to help prolong your travels? What if we told you that it’s easier than ever in the digital age to make money online and you can utilise the internet to make money in a whole number of ways? Awesome, right? Check out some of the most popular ways that people just like you are making money every day.

Freelancing

Freelancing is one of the most popular ways these days to make money online and for good reason. Freelancing provides freedom and the opportunity to do something you truly enjoy for work instead of having to do something traditional such as office work or a trade. Freelancing can be done in a variety of fields – all of which must be in some way easily converted to online work or be done online. Graphic design, coding, website design and more are all popular choices for freelancing, as is virtual assisting, medical transcription amongst others. Many freelancers end up being location independent, meaning they can take their work with them around the world to far flung places and work poolside for a number of hours a day.

Work Remotely

Working remotely is another popular option, but unlike freelancing, working remotely mainly involved working within your established career in office professions such as medical transcribing or even web hosting and other IT jobs, with having the option to work from home or from another location you choose. Working remotely often still requires you to be “online” for 8 hours a day acting as though you’re in the office, however you are able to do it away from the office and often still get paid the same wage. Check to see if your current role supports working remotely – the freedom it can provide purely from just not having to commute to the office every day can be surprising.

Playing Online Games

Did you know that playing online games like the international lottery games available can be a great way to make and save money? Sure, you need to win in order to make the money but through online subscription options you can put aside say fifty dollars per month to play with, which wouldn’t eat into your savings or travelling money and still provide you that ever so important ticket to a potential windfall. Remember, you have to be in it to win it, and online lottery games are some of the best ways to stay in the game. You can also choose from a variety of different types of lottery games to play, making this a popular option for many travellers on the road.

So if you’re looking for ways to keep making money when having the time of your life abroad, look no further than some of these options. Even if you’re looking to just get out of the usual mundane rat race, some of these suggestions can go a long way to providing options you never knew you had. So get those bags packed, good luck and have fun!
