Is it necessary to take a postgraduate exam in psychology if you want to engage in psychological counseling?

Thank you for asking me a question, which makes me feel that you attach great importance to choosing a job. Look at your question first. Is it necessary to take a postgraduate exam in psychology if you want to be a psychologist? The answer is: if the ability allows, the higher the professional learning level, the better. The more professional you study, the more rigorous you master the theory, and at the same time, it is possible to train daily behavior habits and psychological habits in character and temperament. This is a good thing. \x0d\ Then let's take a look at the typical consultant's day written by a consultant on the Internet. From my personal feeling, being a psychologist requires a lot of individuals, not only the theoretical level, but also the knowledge, culture, personal qualities and so on. Under normal circumstances, it takes more than ten years to train a person in the west before he is allowed to practice, which is definitely not satisfied by our current training system, which also doomed this industry to be accumulated by time and money. \x0d\ According to a person's age of 20, learning will not be effective until he is in his thirties. If you have a good family and no pressure in life, I have no objection to you learning this. Our biggest fear is that we want to be a consultant again, but we can't be a professional. \x0d\ Imagine a person finishing his work in a foreign country and then rushing to the hospital to sit in the office to practice after work. Do we dare to let such a doctor see a doctor? What's more, he is a psychologist who demands higher personal quality and theoretical level? \x0d\ A doctor may learn diagnostics, physiology, pathology, internal medicine, surgery and pharmacology well, so he can rely on these practices. But a psychologist is by no means so simple, he is faced with more complicated thoughts. Many friends regard being a psychiatrist as an easy task. This can't help but make people a little helpless and a little dumbfounding. \x0d\ In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of consultants who pass the national examination every year, and less than five thousandths of these consultants actually enter the clinical consultation work. Most people put that certificate in the cupboard and have a look once in a while. The employment rate of students majoring in psychology in related or similar majors is 1% to 2%, which is enough to explain the current employment situation and professional situation. (What I have to mention here is that social training institutions dare to do anything for training fees, which also makes this vocational examination very unimportant) \x0d\ So to sum up, if you are not a professional, you need to understand the gap of professional span in different industries. If you are not prepared economically, it is not recommended to make relevant investments. The input-output ratio of this investment is not as good as you think. \x0d\ I'm sorry to throw cold water on you, and I hope you can understand my confession. Thank you for your question.
