emma34 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 so i am constantly career confused...and searching for my dream career. i got a psych degree becase i was fascinated in mental health and found it relateable. now i work in a field which exactly matches my experience and education. my actual work now is more in administration but my clients whom i deal mostly indirectly with are mental healht patients in the community or personal care homes. i dont think i really realized that this was the end result of my psych degree. i want to go back to school or find another field, because as much as i am interested in mental health, it does not stimulate me enough to accept the poor pay. i find it depressing at times, and not at all social (not an enjoyable social manner anyway). it would be a risk for me at this point because i am already on my way to being established in this area, but it would be better now than later. any thoughts on careers for me? my mom keeps telling me disability insurance..but that sounds kind of boring. any random thoughts/ideas would be greatly appreciated! thank you!!

pinkelephant Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 if you liked the mental health aspect, would you consider going into therapy or actual psychiatry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cognitive_Canine Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Psychology degrees are extremely coveted for law schools. One of my friends is a lawyer who specializes in protecting the mentally handicapped and the so aged that they are considered handicapped by the law.
