I’ve been thinking about my Psy.d degree since 2018. My mom was pushing me towards nursing but I finally put my foot down. Lord Jesus take the wheel! 🙌🏾

3 things if this is for you:
1. See if the thoughts persists for more than a couple of months, years
2. Jot down all the cons - negative consequences ( coz u know all the pros)
3. Are you willing to be a lifelong learner? - have passion u want to do this for life

Not sure why I still watch videos like this because I truly do believe pursuing psychology is my calling! I never have doubt on my journey, I’ve been interested since I was 13 years old and it’s only grew stronger! & now I’m apart of a research lab with an amazing PI who’s always pushing me to do more things for/in the field. Fingers crossed we have enough data to present at the Society of Neuroscience in San Diego this year! 😆

I am a hairdresser of 25 years and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I love study of people, talking to people, helping people look better at minimum which opens the door for me to be able to talk to people in a way that not everyone can and hear stories that many do not. I feel like I have been doing this job for years already, clinical psychology that is. So for me everything that you said in this video, I already possess and it helped me to validate that I am making the right choice this is who I am through and through. Thank you for your video

It is because I am so passionate about becoming a Psychologist, I've seen people struggling from various situations, painful one and so am I I've been through alot of situations where I've found myself in the position of forgiving people who didn't even care that that hurt me and in all that I recognized that no man this person is not okay and so I'd like to dig dipper to find the whys as a result of their behavior and most of it all I'm a very sensitive person and kind at the same time..I really like to carry other people's burdens I'm a very helpful person

At first I felt I wanted to be a health and wellness coach.I was thinking small. I know in my heart that I want to become a Clinical Psychologist. 🙏🏾

I am incredibly happy to have found you, your videos have led me to the conclusion that this is precisely what I want to persuade. I’m just not sure where to begin, I’m afraid of making another mistake. I didn’t get to apply to any universities so I’ve fallen behind. I’d appreciate it if you were able to give me so advice. Should I look into any online programs or do more research and apply to a community college and then transfer to a university? I just feel like I’m running out of time.

Hi Dr. Phil! I will be going into a master's program this coming fall which is a research based psychology program. I was wondering if this route can eventually lead me to a career path of a sport psychology/clinical psychology concentration?

[mazwinmx]

I'm thinking of taking clinical psychology as a career. But I'm still unsure about it. I just have this feeling that maybe I'll regret it. I mean I'm interested to learn it but what if i get bored of it?!! Pc, can you tell me how many years will it take to be a clinical psychologist

[neha]

Hi, I have a bachelor's degree (elementary education) and I don't want to be a teacher. I did not take many science or STEM courses for my degree. I am interested in becoming a clinical psychologist, where do I start? I also have no research experience. I feel like I am going to have to reinvent the wheel... also, is it possible to do a funded program because I don't have the money to take out a bunch of loans honestly.

[kemojoaquin]

Sorry, but what is the job title you mention @1:05?

[Jenice-TheHiddenGem]

I was recently drawn to study clinical psychology. At first I wanted to be a nurse then that changed, now I work with little ones. I have an in home childcare and a certificate in Early Childhood Education and Administration. It’s been several months now since I’ve been doing research on psychology. I wanted to go this route not only for myself but for my love ones and people in general. Just want to dig deeper into how the brain works and reasoning behind certain mental illness. Thank you so much for all the information you share. 🤍
