What do you enjoy most about working as a psychologist?



Psychologists investigate human behavior, delving into how people think, how they learn, and how they develop emotionally and socially. They use a wide range of methods to conduct research on large groups, specific populations and individuals. A psychologist may control lab experiments, assess clients on-site, or evaluate school tests for learning disabilities.
Psychologists also assist people suffering from trauma, mental disorders or substance abuse problems. They may work with individual clients to understand root causes and offer treatment. Most research psychologists work in universities or government agencies. Depending on career goals, professionals may opt to move into a specialty area that fires their imaginations and promises fulfilling work

Psychologists work in an ever-expanding field  and possess many skills applicable to other disciplines, but typically they can be separated into two basic types: practitioners and researchers.


On a professional side, they enjoy the professional freedom associated with being a psychologist. As a psychologist, they have to option to be a therapist, professor, researcher, supervisor, consultant, advocate or policy maker. they can work for them self, a college, a business, or the government. They I can wear many different hats and I appreciate the level of job security associated with being able work in a variety of settings.
