What Questions Should I Ask A Psychologist To Find More About That Career?

January 26, 2010 – 4:57 am

I have to do a research paper on careers in psychology because that is what I’m interested in and I have to interview a psychologist. I am not really sure what to ask in this interview so I will appreciate the help, thanks.

  3. First of all, you need to answer the most important question: WHY are you interested in psychology? Once you answer that, everything else should come along. For instance, if you decide you want to be a psychologist to help people, get specific:
    “I want to help women who have been sexually abused as children and need help setting appropriate boundaries.”
    Or:
    ” I want to be a criminal psychologist and diagnose and help the criminally insane so they can get the help they need and deserve to live normal, healthy lives.”
    Would you rather help children? Abused children? ADD children?
    Can you see where answering that question might help you begin?
    After that, you might want to ask about college: Where did he (or she) go to school? How much did it cost? Were scholarships available? Can he dispense medicine? How much does it pay? Is the fielf wide open, or are psychologists a dime a dozen?
    In any case, good luck!
