I am very optimistic about the future of psychology. Just like the main contradiction changes, with the economic conditions getting better and better, our generation is very eager to know their psychological situation. But what you have to think about is whether your personality is suitable for studying psychology, and whether you can persist in seeing its prospects without seeing material returns.
If you really love it, this major will benefit you, because at present, psychologists are mixed, there are not many professionals, and real experts are needed. If you think this job is very profitable, and you just want to make money from it, I'm afraid that the mentality of quick success and instant benefit will make you hit a wall everywhere. You will find that the development of psychology in China has just started, and the employment situation is not very good.
The working direction is:
When you go to school as a psychological counseling teacher, you are in contact with students. The problems encountered in the environment are relatively simple. Being a lecturer in psychology in colleges and universities requires higher academic qualifications and is slightly academic. Of course, you can also do clinical work. It usually takes some time to work in a psychological consulting company and practice privately.
In fact, many other jobs, such as human resources and teachers, are psychological counterparts.
It can also be seen from the popularity of words such as family background that people are paying more and more attention to their psychological state and how to form it. Psychology will shine brilliantly in the future development, but it takes time and patience. If you really like it, go on studying.
