Challenges and Rewards of a Career in Psychology

I joined Lisa Marker-Robbins on her College and Career Clarity Podcast to explore why so many students who major in psychology and intend to work in the field land elsewhere in their careers.

I shared the challenges and rewards of a career in Psychology. We talked about skills and the many opportunities in the field depending on students’ wiring, self-awareness, and goals.

We had a great discussion which included these highlights:

• The wide variety of careers for those with a Ph.D. or PsyD in Psychology
• The often underestimated educational and extracurricular path to earning this doctoral-level degree
• Other career paths that credential someone for work as a therapist Suggested extracurriculars for high school and college students interested in psychology
• How I am helping families with adolescents, manage COVID-related stresses with my Post-Pandemic Parenting Masterclass
