Psychology is one of the most popular university degrees today. In this book, dozens of outstanding practitioners and scholars explain how quickly the career opportunities for graduates with psychology degrees are growing. Gerald Oster asked dozens of practicing psychologists for their advice for students considering a career in psychology. These outstanding practitioners and scholars recall their thoughts and actions as they plotted careers - or landed jobs by surprise - in traditional or new roles for psychologists. The book includes chapters providing an overview of specialisations in psychology today. This insightful work will interest school students and undergraduates, recent graduates seeking their niche, career-changers, and psychologists in the field seeking new directions, as well as guidance counsellors and parents. From one psychologist who put her research aside to become president of a university, to another who ended his work with children to become an author of psychological mystery books, author Gerald Oster and the dozens of psychologists he interviewed for this book share the sometimes humorous, often difficult experiences and decisions they faced as they completed their college years and built successful careers. This work also includes sections on making the most of undergraduate years and balancing the demands of career and family.
