Students should prepare for a career in psychology by taking the most challenging high school courses available, especially in English and science. Admission to graduate programs is usually dependent on the quality of undergraduate performance in a psychology major. Clinical psychologists must complete a two-year supervised internship after earning their doctorate and pass oral and written state qualifying exams.
School psychologists must earn at least a master's degree.
I do not want to be a psychologist because i cannot be neutral towards someone issues i like to help people the most i can. I am not good giving advices so i think this is not a good option for me. What i think about this career is that it is for patient people that likes to help without getting involve in the issue and that is not my type of personality.
