If you’re interested in how people
think and behave, a career in psychology might be perfect
for you. The great thing about the field of psychology is
that it isn’t confined to just the space behind a desk. Careers
in psychology overlap with just about every sector of the
economy.
Psychology careers in education include school psychology
and counseling. Some psychologists work with courts, non-profits,
and schools to teach classes on topics like parenting skills.
Still other psychology careers include sports psychology and
organizational psychology.
For students interested in pursuing a more traditional psychology
career path in such fields as clinical psychology or marriage
counseling, there are still tons of options for you. According
to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 34% of psychologists are
self-employed, mostly as private practitioners. Another 21%
are employed by others in the health care industry.
