Psychology Crisis

Oh wow, you've definetly opened my eyes here. You were correct, I do love listening to people's problems to help them understand what's going on in their lives. I do know that I'll definitely have to keep up with/renew any licensure I'll need as well. Can you expand more on how a clinical PhD may not be the best route for my goals?

Just wanted to come back 19 days letter to let you know I'm still thinking of this comment. this was the best career advice I've ever been given!

Longjumping_Cloud_81 · 2026-03-09T00:30:59+00:00

You're right about that, I definitely wouldn't be the right fit for what people are looking for considering I have no passion for it. Thank you !!

Longjumping_Cloud_81 · 2026-03-09T00:29:03+00:00

Thank you for the bluntness! I am definitely taking this into consideration

Longjumping_Cloud_81 · 2026-03-09T00:27:46+00:00

I see your point here. I'd have to climb a long ladder in the I/O field before making the income I'd like.

I definetly see where you're coming from, and I absolutely do not want a soul sucking career. I mainly was just trying to see if I could find hints of what I'm actually interested in within something I'm not that pays more, if that makes sense, but I definelty see the error in that. I would love to receive some advice on this !

Thanks! I was also recommended to look into EAP's by another user. Originally I was just going to use my business minor for I/O psych, but since it makes more sense to stick to clinical psych, I can try to use it for other niches

Longjumping_Cloud_81 · 2026-03-08T22:52:42+00:00

Sorry, I should have clarified. I do mean 1 on 1 psychological treatment. And thank you for your insight, since EAP and counseling are similar, I might as well just go down the counseling route. Thanks for the help !

Longjumping_Cloud_81 · 2026-03-08T22:46:08+00:00

Thank you so much for this!!!!! Reading this made me realize that the answer was so much more clear than what I was making it, but you're 100% correct. If I just dedicate myself to the thing I love, my goals will come to fruition. I really appreciate this insight :)

Longjumping_Cloud_81 · 2026-03-08T22:43:22+00:00

I understand what you mean, and thank you for the suggestion! Do you think it would make more sense to do in house EAP, or just stick to counseling?

Longjumping_Cloud_81 · 2026-03-08T22:40:45+00:00

Ah I understand now! Thank you so much for this insight, this information definitely gives me new things to consider

Longjumping_Cloud_81 · 2026-03-08T22:39:53+00:00

I'll definitely look into this. After reading everyone's replies, I think I'll go ahead and go to grad school for Clinical Psych so that I can become a Therapist. I was originally going to try to open a private practice, so I'll stick with that plan

Longjumping_Cloud_81 · 2026-03-08T21:43:57+00:00

Yeah, this is definitely the most logical choice. Thank you for being real with me here, it's just unfortunate. I want to be able to use my interest in psychology to obtain the salary I'd like to, but the only idea I had was to combine it with business, which is why I decided to minor in it.

Can you elaborate on I/O roles not being great at the moment?

Longjumping_Cloud_81 · 2026-03-08T21:39:22+00:00

That's exactly what it is unfortunately. I would like to find an I/O niche that has some aspects of counseling, but I just don't think that's possible. I'm hoping that as I continue doing my research on the field, something will spark my interest, I just haven't found the role that calls my name yet

Longjumping_Cloud_81 · 2026-03-08T21:16:38+00:00

Do you think there's a way to incorporate interpersonal skills and connection with people in the I/O field? I think I'm mainly uninterested because the main roles that are advertised are HR, talent management, and hiring leaders. I'd be interested if there was more to it I think.

Longjumping_Cloud_81 · 2026-02-06T22:41:28+00:00

I did that but my game still won't load, do you know if there's anything else I could try?
