1, academic research
You need to study for a doctorate, preferably abroad or at home, but the competition for going to key universities in first-tier cities will be fierce. It is necessary to test academic ability and interest and send papers. A few key universities will require SCI or SSCI.
2, enterprise related work (human resources, user experience, business consulting, consumer research, etc. )
There is a great demand in this market, mainly human resources. Recently, more and more people are doing user experience, but of course, there is great competition in finding a good job.
Organization and management (many enterprises are engaged in HR work, and some go to consulting companies), development education (such as opening kindergartens or going to other educational institutions), and clinic (such as going to psychological counseling centers of major universities as full-time psychological counselors or psychological teachers, large state-owned enterprises as internal EAP, and key middle schools as psychological teachers).
3, psychological counseling and treatment, mental health education
This field is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, the quality of academic education and continuing training education can not be guaranteed, and the public's understanding and trust in psychological counseling and treatment is still limited. The cost of tens to hundreds per hour is beyond the reach of ordinary wage earners, and will gradually improve in the future. There are many people who can afford psychological counseling in first-tier cities, and the consumption power of residents in first-tier cities in psychological counseling should be improved.
Matters needing attention in learning psychology
1. In terms of income, investment is the main thing in the early stage (high training cost), and it depends on personal development in the later stage, and different people may vary greatly. The situation of doing well is very good (especially the income from providing training is high, but all the people who can provide training are experts), and the income from doing well is also very average.
The advantage of this industry is that it can provide services and help to others (especially students), and it will be happy to help others, although it will occasionally feel overwhelmed. If the service object is the public, it may be much more difficult than the student group, because high fees will also bring high expectations.
3. This industry requires high personal mental health, psychological quality and professional skills (if you really want to be a good professional, not a fool). If you are mentally healthy and proficient in professional skills, you can help others, so you need to constantly strengthen self-growth and professional training.
