What Students Think about Their Future Profession

Student B:

I think that my future profession is very useful because every person needs help at the state of crisis.

Some years ago people did not need a psychologist’s help. But every year the life around us is becoming more intensive, full of conflicts and strained relations. Our society feels an increasing need for people of this profession.

It may seem very easy to be a psychologist but if you can’t feel like a psychologist then this profession is not for you. You must understand people, listen to them, be ready to solve their problems and give advice. But it may be very difficult to do if you have your own problems that you can’t solve. Having this career you are to forget your own problems and difficulties and think about the difficulties of your patient.

But here you face one more problem – studies at the University don’t help you much – you must have a special gift of understanding people. To my mind, a psychologist is not just a profession, it is something inside you.

Besides, psychology is not just a profession. Psychology is a science. As science it specializes in different fields such as developmental psychology, personality psychology, experimental psychology, social psychology. There are also fields of applied psychology such as educational, school, industrial, organizational and clinical psychology. This science is affected by people’s expectations, social values and demands of the society.

At present many discoveries have been made in this field of knowledge. And still people want to know more about mental processes and they think that this science will continue to develop. There will be more discoveries made and people will understand each other better.
