It’s an age-old question—why do people do what they do? The scientific study of that question is psychology. This field is fairly young—only about 125 years old—and has already had nearly as many schools of thought as there have been psychologists.
Many psychologists are researchers, and many others are practicing clinicians. But there is literally no limit to how the study psychology can be utilized in the workforce. For instance, three of the ten “hot” jobs for 2007 utilize a psychology degree, including being a school psychologist or working as an animal behavioralist. But there are many other fascinating psychology careers today--including forensic psychologist, sport psychologists and more! There is no limit to where a degree in psychology can take you today!
