3 years into my bachelors in psych, and this 7 minute video gave me more direct and compelling information about my career path options than the entire state university.

Psychology says:
"When you focus on problems, you will have more problems. When you focus on possibilities, you will have more opportunities"

Psychology should be made compulsory in high school so we can understand how our mind works. We get manual for all the equipment, but unfortunately we don't know how our brain works. Thank you Psych2go, you are on a mission to educate the millennials about psychology.

Oh, I needed this. I have no clue what to do with my life.

When I started college I thought I would be a child psychologist, but I ended up getting my master's in Applied Gerontology (the study of aging and well-being in older adults). Because psychology is so broad volunteer and intern at places that have the population you want to work with to see if its a good fit before you decide what you want to specialize in. The best of luck to you!

There's also plenty of books about psychology out there! If you're interested you can find some really good books

Can you do another video on different psychology careers? I'm sure there are more related to coaching, HRs, or art therapy. I'm planning on choosing a major in psychology and I want to know if it's the right path or not. Maybe you can do a video about choosing a career wisely? Both of them will help me out! By the way, I love your channel! <3

Second year to becoming a psychologist :D

You also need a fitting personality. Someone I know studied psychology and did an internship in a psychological ambulance.
When she told her patient "So? That's not my problem." she was dropped. And genuinely seemed not to know why. 🤔

Hey man I’m 17 I’ve beat depression and an eating disorder depression, was very hard because I’ve noticed being depressed you believe the sadness more than you believe yourself or others and it’s a harsh cycle simple because you believe you won’t get better and when people tell you what you need to get better you don’t listen and look for relief in the moment oppose to relief in the long run, an easier way to look at it is for example someone may have a problem with excessive eating and they want to stop but they’re living in the moment so right now eating more sounds more pleasurable, right now being sad and wanting others to assure you is more pleasurable than taking the advice and taking a step to help yourself, right now being sad is more pleasurable then starting to tell yourself positive things and stopping the negative thoughts in their tracks because you don’t feel comfortable trying to get better you feel comfortable being sad so since you make no moves to step out of your comfort zone or not enough moves it continues to be a harsh cycle. CHANGE REQUIRES BEING UNCOMFORTABLE CHANGE REQUIRES NOT DOING WHAT YOU KNOW WILL HURT YOU EVEN IF EVERYTHING IN YOUR HEAD IS TELLING YOU TO DO IT CHANGE ISNT EASY NOW BUT ONCE YOU EMBRACE IT YOU LEARN IT WAS NEVER COMPLICATED!!! EVERYTHING YOU TELL YOURSELF REALLY MATTERS WHAT YOU TELL YOURSELF FORMS YOUR BELIEFS YOUR BELIEFS FORM YOUR ACTIONS YOUR ACTIONS FORM YOUR FEELINGS YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE BECAUSE OF THE THOUGHTS YOU THINK!!! YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU DREAM ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE IN HISTORY HAS DONE IT SO LONG AS YOU THINK THE RIGHT POSITIVE THINGS PUSH YOURSELF FUCKING DONIT YOURE RIGHT THERE YOURE INFINITE YOURE LIMITLESS DONT SET A BAR FOR YOURSELF THAT WAS TRULY NEVER DARE COME ON MAN EVERYONE LOVES YOU I LOVE YOU IF YOU HURT YOURSELF YOU HURT BILLIONS IF EVERYTHING MATTERS IF YOU HURT ONE PERSON YOU HURT THEIR FRIENDS THEIR FAMILY AND SO ON AND THAT NEVER STOPS THE EFFECTS OF YOUR PERSON IS BIGGER THAN YOU PROBABLY KNOW LITERALLY EVERYONE MATTERS NOBODY LEAVES THIS EARTH HAVING NOT THEORETICALLY MATTERED I LOVE YOU PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I KNOW YOURE GONNA BEAT IT INSTEAD IF SAYING MAYBE SAY I KNOW EVERY WORD EVERY THOUGHT IT MAKES YOU it makes

My mother is a Speech Language Pathologist, and she does amazing work helping grade-school kids gain better language skills. It's certainly a field where professionals gets very little recognition; yet, given how language is the mortar that holds the structures of civilization together, they are likely to bring about greater social progress than most others specializing in one of thousands of other disciplines.

Damn this video came at the right time, I’m looking into pursuing psychology and wanted to know what options i have

[whisperingwooper]

I’m currently studying psychology as an undergrad! And yeah there are so many paths to choose it’s hard to pick one and a lot of them do require a doctorate

[SuperBlessedKing]

I am a college student majoring in psychology currently !
😇😇🙏🏽🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[tizgrace]

Thank you so much for this video!
I love psychology so much and it’s really a big passion of mine. I read and study a lot on my own about it because my family didn’t support my choice to follow this career and i ended up choosing something that they wanted me to do... It is and it was a big pain for me. I regret the choice I made.
But now, I’m going to face my fears and go for it no matter what.
Life is one and too short for being people pleaser, especially when we are talking about careers that you are going to - at least - until your lifetime ends.
Maybe it will cost me a lot in terms of time, love from others or support... but i need to see what it will take me.
Maybe I will leave my country to better educate myself. Alone.
Alone but with myself. I don’t know.
But everything has its own time to mature.
Thank you so much again for your work and efforts you bring into your channel and videos about this topic.
It’s so much appreciated!
And... I’m so sorry for my English. I wish with all my heart to be able to learn this beautiful language as much as I can.

That moment when you were considering a psych career but weren't fully committed to the idea...

[skinni_the_PhBear]

I want to be a mental health counselor. But I'm also looking at a few others, like forensic psychology (too much crime tv lol)

[DrLizListens]

To those dreaming of being a therapist or psychologist....I'm sending you all the good vibes possible.
It's a long, arduous, selfless road. It'll test your commitment to your career. This is a path of life long learning, with not the best pay. If you're passionate, my words won't scare you.
