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.

Hiii anokhi.
if you wish to make strong career then go for HR offcourse.Read contents carefully so that you wll get some of idea.
Human resources are undoubtedly the key resources in an organization, the easiest and the most difficult to manage! The objectives of the HRM span right from the manpower needs assessment to management and retention of the same. To this effect Human resource management is responsible for effective designing and implementation of various policies, procedures and programs. It is all about developing and managing knowledge, skills, creativity, aptitude and talent and using them optimally.
If you are a fresher then highlight some of the things that guided you in choosing HR as the career. With so much business expansion taking place, professional HR staff is required to maintain the human capital of an organization. Organizations are also starting their operations in foreign land. As such factors like economical issues, legal bindings and cultural factors often play important role in recruiting and retaining human capital. HR plays a crucial role in handling such affairs.Human Resource Management is not just limited to manage and optimally exploit human intellect. It also focuses on managing physical and emotional capital of employees. Considering the intricacies involved, the scope of HRM is widening with every passing day. It covers but is not limited to HR planning, hiring (recruitment and selection), training and development, payroll management, rewards and recognitions, Industrial relations, grievance handling, legal procedures etc. In other words, we can say that it's about developing and managing harmonious relationships at workplace and striking a balance between organizational goals and individual goals.
When you join it would mainly personnel management, which only concerned with maintenance of payroll or keeping accounts of employee benefits. But then in comming 3-5 years, things will change drastically. It will go more strategic in nature. HR has now an important department that not only recruits but also formulates retention policies, imparts training and offers other necessary support in reaching the defined targets of the organization.
This was for the HR anokhi.Now read next for the Psychology.
