Opportunities abound for those seeking careers in psychology
with the desire to help those who’ve suffered trauma, abuse, or
have simply had difficult and identity-skewing situations.
Social work and school counseling are two areas where training
in psychology can be used. Other psychologists prefer to do
clinical work or research. Regardless of the end work, most
begin by seeking a bachelor’s degree in psychology and often a
master’s degree or doctorate in a social services specialty
area. After a degree is achieved, state or national licensing is
typically pursued. - What to Do in Undergrad & Beyond: This
