Why I'm interested in psychology
Im interested in psychology
I want to help people like me who didn't get help.
You literally spoke my mind!
Same.
This is my reason as well
I’m so nervous because I’m currently studying psychology in college and it’s my favourite subject and have also applied to unis with a psychology degree but I’m starting to second guess because other RUclips videos have talked about how it’s underpaid and takes a long time to get a good career.
Sameee i have no clue what to do 😭😭
Hey did you all figure out what to do?
I've learnt that a BA is better to do. Because you can get a job that's better than if you do a BS in Psychology.
And well you need a Master's to be a therapist.
This speaks to me so much! As a fellow brown girl, getting into the mental health field is so important. Good luck on your journey. I think sometimes the path can be hard, but I don't think it necessarily needs to be. I graduated 4 years ago from my psychology undergraduate, and I got onto a masters 2 years later than qualifies me as a mental health professional at the same banding as a clinical psychologist (for background I'm 26 and a qualified and accredited band 7 CBT therapist). Obviously eventually I will want to move to a higher band, and will do a doctorate but I think there's so many similar roles to a clinical psychologist to consider. I also never got an assistant psychologist role so I ended up doing a masters out of pure frustration of not progressing in my career. I made a video on my career journey (on my channel) and I hope it could be potentially useful in knowing your next steps. I hope it helps, because we really do need more BAME mental health professionals
this video was so helpful! i'm studying psychology at uni in september so this was just what i needed to see :)) as always, loved the video xx
Me too!! Which uni? :))
Good luck for September!! xx
Please see the above
Omg me too actually
@@Name_idkk okay me too and i need freinds lool :(
This was so interesting! I am studying Psychology at the moment - love your reasoning for wanting to pursue a career in Psychology. 🙌🏼❤️ xx
I'm glad it was interesting! Thank you for watching x
I sincerely hope you realize that a BA (BS) in Psychology is worthless in terms of getting a job. Even worse.......how much student debt have you accumulated for this worthless degree?
I love your sweater.
Anyways, I agree with your video. But I would like to add a few points for some people who would like to get a psychology degree. A psychology degree is very flexible, one of the most flexible degrees there are out there because it can be one of the most people-oriented degrees out there. Some seniors think that once you've grad you're gonna have to do your Masters or Ph.D. to start having a lucrative career but that is simply half of the story and not true. Your options are quite wide whether you want to work in charity, Human Resources, becoming a professional trainer, doing business, or even just working at a stocks exchange (no joke, some of my seniors are making thousands the moment they graduate). Any job requiring human communication you'd likely accel in thanks to the experience you'd garnered during your degree. The downside of a psychology degree, in my opinion, is that you'll be doing a lot of maths. What I mean by this is statistical maths. And why I noted this as a downside is that most new students don't know that they'll be doing a lot of statistical maths and research. So you'll need to brush up on your mathematics if you're not good at maths (like I was lol). Overall I'm currently in my final year, and unlike my friends in the field, I am motivated to pursue a Masters so I may work as an IO Psychologist. But even if I decided to stop at just the degree, I'll still have loads of options to choose from, as long as I don't limit myself to the stereotypical thinking of "we belong working in a mental hospital" which is quite a common stereotype from where I'm from.
this was very helpful thank you!
Thnx, this was so helpful even tho I’m just 13yro...😘🙃ur so right about the stereotypes cuz I asked lots of ppl and their reaction would mostly be exactly that..
Hi this was really helpful and I have seen your comments in some other videos I’m currently in year 13 thinking of taking psychology with neuroscience is there anyway I could contact and ask a few questions if you don’t mind .
You are so funny, smart ( and pretty to). Just keep on goin'. I am anthropologist, and I relate to, although the sciences are not the same, but there are similarities.. Psychology is also based on both science and philosophy, people often don't understand what kind of knowledge that is and ways you can use it for yourself and others. Hard work always pays off.
You're a libra
Thank you Soo much.
I was at the point if a break down when u like my friends I can't decide what I want to do and j finally settled for psychology .
And having someone of the same zodiac sign to break all these down for me.
Hasina I am soooo grateful for that🙏😭🙃
I genuinely thought doctorates were 7 years ontop of a masters 🤣🤯 This nugget of information has pushed me to jump for my new career path! Thanks
Thank you Hasina, you really helped me get a clear view on this! :)
Are we gonna talk about how she didn't drink her tea?
But the information was very helpful thank you
Omg I’m a libra to the indecisiveness is so hard 😖 I’m a psychology major also !
Same😭 How is it going?
I'm a libra too and always was drawn to Psychology...been wanting to become a Art Therapist and I need psych and art degrees...Thanks for the info!
Wow the color blue really complement you! 💙

Thank you so much!! This really made my day!
Thank you so much for this video it has been so helpful, I’m just curious what A levels did you do since you said you didn’t do psychology?
i’m indecisive asf too & imma aquarius lol. i’m a sophomore in high school & im really drawn to psychology because i would love to help people out with mental health.
aww aquarius and libras are super compatible haha! but def read around it and go for it if you’re passionate!!
Sin Khan
yesss we’re both air signs!!! i wanna follow my heart with my career but i feel really stuck.
#1 Do NOT go to an expensive private or out of state school #2 get two years of undergrad at a local community college #3 above all realistically look at the first year starting salary of a BA in Psychology. If it is < accumulated student debt....RUN AWAY!!!!
love your channel queen!!
Where did you get that blue top from loving the vibes and did you manage to get the matching bottoms to it and is it a nightsuit set
lol i cracked up when you said "people still lie to me, I'm still gullible lol."
Can you please suggest a few universities to study psychology in the UK with scholarships?
I'm also student of psychology in Pakistan and ,everybody in my family is like" what the hell are you doing with your future " "you are ruining your future " but this is so interesting subject for me seriously
I’m applying for unis these days and this is exactly what I hear from my fam!!! That there is no scope, psychology isn’t worth it ugh, but I love the subject 😩
Ugh same here
Guyz go for it, aagy psychology ka scope ho yan nhi ho go for ittt
Eye makeup is stunning x
Say it as it is girl 👏
Iam from India.I like to become a psychologist.thank u so much for reducing my stress
Oh look, I just found my new role model.
hi! i’m really interested in becoming a clinical psychologist but who specialises/is geared more towards working with children? do you know if there something specific i should take/do differently for this? ☺️ i’m in my first year of A levels so just going through the beginning application process for unis. also, are there any tips for what can be good experience pre psychology experience? are things like cafe homes or working with kids good experience? or are there other things you may know of? thank you so much for this video it’s super informative, it was hard to get a straight answer online what qualifications and steps i needed to take to become a psychologist.
What area of working with children? Schools, social work, paedistric based etc?
Hello I do very well at my subjects in school except math how much will it affect my psychology studies?
Interesting topic for today’s vid! Great content as always💜
Thank you sis!
Pls I subscribed right after the intro 😂😂❤️
I suffer from mental health issues and I got no help. I'm still in process. Psychiatric I went were extremely bad ☹️. On my second appointment I was waiting outside and there was a kid. He seem to be suffer from ADHD. I'm saying by all knowledge I know on ADHD. (when I was kid I had symptoms of ADHD,no one understand me) I felt extremely sad when I saw him. ☹️ That psychiatric only prescribe medicine after 2 min talk. ☹️ I want to help people. I'm interested in studying Human behaviour. Brain is really interesting.
Do it! Just do your research on jobs & schools & experiences. I'm looking into it too (i graduate this year from highschool).
I’m doing bsc in psychology and in 3rd semester please make a video on how to prep and study
amazing video!
Hey! I liked your video. It was informative. I am currently doing a bachelor's in English literature. Can I do an MA in psychology? Just to clear the confusion. Thanks in advance.
Hey, I found this video really helpful, thank you so much. I chose to do psychology because of my personal life and I’m also 15 . I wanted to go college but a lot of people are saying that I should go sixth form . However some people also encourage me to go college. I really don’t know what to do . Please help.
Hi, I was in the same position as you and I decided to go to a college and it was one of the best decisions I made many of my friends stayed at the six form and they really regret it because they don’t feel supported enough because many of the teachers are distracted with the other year groups and they now feel like a change of environment would’ve been best for them especially for preparation for university life. One reason that made me want to go to sixth form was the idea of having smaller class sizes but now that I’m in a college that really isn’t an issue in fact I feel more supported because it’s only two year groups in a college and the teachers are more focused on your progress.
thank you for this!! helped a lot
I’m honestly kind of confused :(. I really wanna study Forensic Psychology but where I live there are no programs specifically in Forensic Psychology. So when you mention that psychology opens many doors you think it’s a possible for me to study Psychology and then look into Forensic? So kind of divide them both to then combine them?
I don't know if this will be of any help but in some psychology degrees you can choose to major in forensic psychology. In some unis you can do a double degree with psych and criminology which has forensic psychology courses! Also, it depends where you are from, so if you tell me your city I can try help you find whether some of these degrees exist :))
Great video!!
thank you for watching!
so useful!
I'm glad! xx
I’m now going into my senior year
Tbh im so confused what to do and it stresses me :)
Phsycology is interesting
Idk what branch really
But I’m afraid to do the wrong desigion
And I’m curious about the major
Hopefully it will work out
I have other options as Socail work
And community Devalopment and
Directing
I don’t wanna take that long but also get masters
Alot of psychology jobs expect a doctorate or PhD in the UK. In America you need a doctorate to take the state license exam before you even become a psychologist

Hello I’m interested in studying psychology in education at university will I struggle if I haven’t studied psychology at A-level?
you don’t always need psychology a level to do a degree in uni but you do need at least one subject in the sciences/maths for a level
@@meda04 what about the social sciences like sociology, because I am planning on taking essay based subjects at a level e.g history English and sociology, because I’m planning on taking psychology and go into hospital social work
Where did you study abroad ?
University of Sydney :)
