Careers in Psychology
Following a Path:
A Career in Psychology
A career in psychology is not only exciting, but also rewarding. Yet many feel that the options with regards to finding a career in this field are limited. However, when one looks upon the various characteristics of a psychological career, one can certainly find something that strikes the interest and that is a feasible position to pursue. Contrary to popular belief, thus, there are many career paths out there, in the field, in addition to clinical psychology careers or research-based postions. Indeed, an individual can choose from 16 clusters, according to the CTE website. These cluster are:
Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources
Architecture & Construction
Arts, Audio/Video Technology & Communications
Business Management & Administration
Education & Training
Finance
Government & Public Administration
Health Science
Hospitality & Tourism
Human Services
11. Information Technology
12. Law, Public Safety, Corrections & Security
13. Manufacturing
14. Marketing
15. Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics
16. Transportation, Distribution & Logistics
From the simple bulk of writing above, one can see the many, many options. I have listed these options to simply show that going from despair from not being able to choose a variety of careers, one can be quite overwhelmed when finding out just how many options one has. Though at first I, myself, thought about a clinical career, after seeing these I started thinking about working in government and public administration. The paragraphs below will thus expand upon my understanding of this path, as well as what I have found out about it after further research.
