Psychologist

Duties and responsibilities: Psychologists study the behavior and actions of people to understand, explain, and change their behavior patterns.  They also provide counseling and therapy to those with emotional, learning, and behavior problems.  Psychologists work in schools, clinics, hospitals, and private practice.

They also diagnose and treat problems, interview and observe patients, develop mental health programs, and conduct research and teaching.

Salary: $45,000-$65,000

Education: You have to earn a Ph.D. in psychology. You must also complete a two year supervised internship after earning their doctorate and pass oral and written state qualifying exams. They must at least earn a master’s degree.

Reflection: I would not like to be a psychologist because it is a career that I am not interested in.
