BLOG 5: My future job as a psychologist

 Hi everyone!

Well, I'm in my first year of Psychology so I haven't deeply explored each area, but with my limited knowledge I could choose two options for a future job:

My first choice is forensic/legal psychology. In this field, psychology is combined with law and criminal justice. People who work in this area can do many jobs  related to helping judges understand criminal behavior, advising police and prison guards on the best ways to interact with criminals or assisting in counseling and rehabilitation programs, etc. I would like to be able to provide the necessary tools to both victims and perpetrators to overcome their situations.

My second choice is neuropsychology, which deals with the interaction between brain structure and human behavior. I think it is a very interesting area because it looks beyond the visible, and explores behavior from inside the body. I would love to be involved in the rehabilitation of patients with impaired cognitive functions or in any activity that can help people develop themselves better.... I think working in the field of neuropsychology is like opening a mysterious box.

Since I was little, I always imagined a job where I could travel a lot or, at least, always be on the move. I don't think this job fulfills that, but I can handle it or maybe find a way to make it active. About the salary, I think it's okay because I don't want to be a millionaire, just live carefree.

Both areas seem very interesting to me, I really see myself working in one of them. I hope to make the right decision in the future💪
