Psychology

Psychology is a practical subject, so that leaves us with very limited options when it comes to distance learning mode. You can enroll yourself in IGNOU [www.ignou.ac.in] (Indira Gandhi National Open University). It is, without a hint of doubt, one of the best open universities in India. They have classes, that are optional, but you are required to attend the practicals. They have internals, assignments and projects. They even provide internships at PG level. Another option is Annamalai University Directorate of Distance Education [https://www.annamalaiuniversity.ac.in/dde/]. They provide study material and will call you for a personal contact programme at the end of each year to conduct the practicals. These PCPs are very helpful. They conduct lectures too for the next academic year. There are other universities too, but these two are pretty fine to consider, IGNOU being the best.

Well, it is not that easy to pursue a career in travelling and not everyone can achieve it in the first go. Below are few things that I think one should possess to become a host in these international travel networks:
Good communication skills - verbal, kinesics & proxemics. Good vocabulary
An inward flowing passion to travel and experience 'never like before' adventures. Should be up-to-date on general knowledge - specifically the historical specifics of places etc. (Once you land on the job you might have fact checkers, but to land there you should do some homework)
Should have traveled many places atleast within the home country so that you can show yourself as one who is aware of the travel culture and someone who has the love to do it. Should be flexible with time, place and most important - MONEY (not all such jobs are well payed, at least in the initial days. ). Your perks will be free of cost travelling. Should have minimal / no personal commitments. This is the biggest barrier - many suppress their love for travelling or get stuck at this phase. I have seen/experienced travel plans being cancelled or postponed infinitely as buds. Overcome all these, keep exploring options and new places every now and then. If your luck is with you and you land in your dream job, do give me a call once :) Would love to hear the experience. All the best & Happy Travelling!

Dear Arushi,
Below are the 5 steps that will help you become a successful Mental Health Procedure.
1. Get a Bachelors Degree in Psychology
Earning an undergraduate degree is the first step toward becoming a mental health counselor. This will give you a general undergraduate education, and you can major in psychology or another related field.
2. Get an Advanced Degree in a Specialty
Next, a Masters or doctoral degree in mental health counseling is required, depending on the state you live in. Most states also require you to finish either a practicum or an internship as part of your studies.
3. Get Clinical Counseling Experience
Many states will also require a minimum of 36 months of full-time counseling or 3,000 hours of postgraduate mental health counseling under the supervision of an approved licensed mental health professional.
4. Take the Counselor Exam
States generally require you to pass an exam. Normally, either of the following exams is accepted: the National Counselor Exam or the National Clinical Mental Health Counselor Exam.
5. Apply for Licensure in Your State
In order to practice as a mental health counselor, you must be licensed by your state. State licensure conditions can vary so check your state regulatory board for specific requirements.
