Employment direction of psychology major:
1. Go to school: Students majoring in psychology in normal universities have many opportunities to be teachers. Although generally speaking, there are not as many psychology teachers in schools as in other disciplines, every school needs them. If you are a graduate student in psychology, after graduation, you will have the opportunity to be a psychological teacher in colleges or vocational colleges, do some psychological counseling, or teach psychology courses, or be a psychological counselor. By the way, it is very advantageous for psychology graduates to be counselors.

If you graduate from psychology with a non-medical background, you can also consider going to the psychiatric department to do evaluation work and take the technician series.

Employment prospect of psychology major:
If you want to work as a psychological counselor after graduation, you will generally go to a training school, or some larger psychological counseling centers, or engage in the research and development of psychological products. But after all, the development of psychology is not very mature. If you want to rely only on consulting after graduation, you may not even be able to pay the rent. Generally, the candidates after graduation are assistants of psychological counselors, and their salary is not high, but they can learn some experience from their own counselors.
In addition, I am engaged in the direction of human resources. Many students majoring in psychology have obtained the certificate of human resource manager, because they will also do a lot of evaluation in personnel and staff training. But in this industry, it is not easy to get a job if you want to compete with graduates majoring in human resources.
