What Are Some Careers In Psychology Other Than A Psychologist?
I love psychology and I am wanting to major in it in college. But I really do not want to be a psychologist. What are some other careers in the psychology field? All the careers that I have found (which is only like 4) I don’t want to do. I don’t want to do teaching. I really want to have a career actually doing something to help people or working with all the disorders, and just working with the way the mind works. Thanks for any help.
Here’s a list of all the subfields of psychology, including cognitive and developmental (research), forensic, industrial/organizational, neuropsychology, and school psychology. http://www.apa.org/topics/psychologycare…
Patient
Research psychologist, Neuropsychologist (operating the scanners, translating the output), educational psychologist (identify learning disoders, coming up with new strategies and learning methods).
EDIT: Continued: Some people focus of easing in-patients back into everyday life, criminal/forensic psychology focuses on understanding criminal disorders
