Hi,
Psychology is both a science and a profession. As a science it is a systematic approach to the understanding of people and their behaviour.
Psychology can be broadly defined as the study of the mind (normal or abnormal. Psychologists carry out research and conduct programs in an attempt to understand human behaviour to help solve human problems.
Psychologists apply their knowledge and techniques to a wide range of human services, management, education, law and sports.
In order to be successful in this filed you need to have below mentioned skills:
- Basic curiosity about human behaviour.
- Ethical standards of dealing with problems.
- Good communication skills.
- Ability to deal with all kinds of people.
- Logical thinking, etc.
Psychologists work with schools, colleges and professional institutes, industries and market research groups, hospitals, government, social welfare departments, selection boards, banks, placement agencies, consultation firms, medical clinic and research and as teachers or professors in colleges.
I would request Manmeet Kaur50173 to share her expert opinion on this.
I would suggest that before opting for any course you must first decide in which field you wish to build your career and accordingly you can select the best course as per your interest and liking.
As a student you should give your 100% in whichever course you opt for, and if you do well then getting a good job with handsome salary should not be a problem.
Feel free to raise more questions. Appreciate by giving it thumbs up or marking as best.
All the Best.
