Imagining to Be a Psychologist...

                  



                 If I were to major in Psychology and get a job in the field, which is what I want to do in real life, I would choose to be either a counseling psychologist or a developmental psychologist because I am very interested in how people's childhood affects their lives. I personally believe that any people's childhood have a great impact on their lives. The second reason why I would like to be a counseling/developmental psychologist is because I love kids and helping others. It would be great if I could help people and deal with children at the same time! I think clinical psychologist is an interesting job too because it seems more professional and admirable than other jobs. 

                I think my life as a psychologist would be relaxing and fruitful every day. I would have my own office and be sitting on my chair dealing with children and giving them good advice. I would have lunch with my co-workers happily. I would go back home just on time when it is supposed to be and not have to work overtime at night. I would see my patients getting better and I would feel accomplished so much.

                As a psychologist, I would perform experiments mainly through surveys and sometimes through experimental methods, because these seem easy to perform and very reliable to me. Although I am not as interested in drug studies as I am in counseling/developmental studies, I would really like to try single- or double-blind studies. Those seem really fun to try!

                I hope people to remember their childhood as best memories ever in their lives; I don't want them to have any wounded hearts as remembering their childhood. I also hope that people will find their lives easier after talking to me. 

                (By the way, I thought the picture up there was really cute. XD It is also meaningful because  psychology is a study of mental processes; the picture shows how our logic relates to our behaviors is just like how the cogwheels engage to each other.)
