Why is it difficult for psychology graduates to find jobs when there is a big gap in psychological counselors?

In modern society, people's work pressure and emotional pressure are increasing, and the demand for psychological counselors is increasing. Many schools train psychology students every year, and hundreds of thousands of psychology students graduate every year. The state has also issued a notice that there is a gap of about 6.5438+million psychological talents every year, and only 6.5438+million people can find jobs every year. There is a growing demand for psychological counselors and more and more graduates, but why can't you find a job?

1. Professional skills are not strong enough.

Although many excellent psychology graduates are trained in universities every year, undergraduates majoring in psychology are all theoretical foundations and have few practical skills. Psychology is a very practical subject, and psychological counselors need a lot of experience to consult others and ease their emotions. Although he is a trained person, he lacks the corresponding practical experience and is difficult to be competent as a psychological counselor.

2. The salary is low, and it is difficult to maintain life.

Many graduates will also find professional jobs after they come out, but as mentioned earlier, psychological counselors need a lot of experience, and recent graduates lack experience, so they don't play much. When I first graduated, my salary was low, and sometimes I couldn't even maintain my basic life, forcing many people to change careers and their majors were not right, which became the majority choice for psychology graduates.

3. Society pays little attention to psychological counseling.

In our country, most people think that they have problems in their hearts and will choose to go to the hospital instead of seeking psychological counseling. It is that many people want to seek psychological counseling, but they lack the way to find a psychological counselor. Although the country attaches importance to this aspect, it is not developing very well. In addition, there is a psychological counselor. In fact, the cost is so high that most people can't afford it. People with many psychological problems want to seek psychological counseling, but the high cost makes many people flinch.
