Psychologists and counselors work in a wide range of fields, and they serve almost everyone. These two jobs will develop faster than other jobs in the next decade. According to statistics, at present, nearly 70% paid psychologists are employed in health care institutions and educational places, about 15% work in government departments, and the rest work in companies and non-profit organizations. More than 40% psychologists are self-employed.
Counseling involves many occupations, including school counseling, gerontology, marriage and family counseling, property abuse counseling, rehabilitation counseling, vocational counseling, multicultural counseling and so on. Consultants usually help clients make decisions, adapt to changes and solve increasingly prominent personal, social, educational and professional problems in daily life.
The academic employment market of psychology is very narrow, and people with doctoral titles find themselves in the fierce competition of limited employment opportunities. Therefore, some of them are employed by market research, advertising, production and human resources departments. In addition to academia, psychologists and consultants have good employment opportunities. As people pay more and more attention to drug control and prevention of alcoholism and domestic violence, there are more and more employment opportunities in medical and health institutions.
Therefore, when choosing the psychology major in American universities, we must plan the future employment direction and don't waste precious time. However, on the whole, the employment prospects of psychology major in the United States are still very broad.
