is psychology a good career option?

Psychology is a great subject to study for. It is the subject which is going to rise more in future as the mental stress, anxiety and depression became a common problem to the society. In order to maintain the equilibrium, psychologist will be needed as much as we need Physicians. So if you want to go for Psychology be it for Research or for being a Psychologist just go for it. Its a great career choice. Many of us underrate this field but believe me, in India there is a crisis of good psychologist. So if you want to be in a field which is clinical as well as academic and you can learn the most fascinating part of human then its the best field for you not only in terms of jobs or scope but you will just be fond of the subject.

Jobs directly related to your degree include:

• Clinical psychologist.
• Counselling psychologist.
• Educational psychologist.
• Forensic psychologist.
• Further education teacher.
• Health psychologist.

**For these jobs you will at least need a MSc and it will be the best if you can continue for a 1 year Post graduate diploma course.
