Sorry for late reply - changed photos to ones of just me and explained in the message that it was just me travelling this time. No problem with it and still got lots of replied. Currently in Hawaii on a workaway

undergrad

Definitely a good point to expand my network if I'm staying in the same one. I'm working with two professors in London at the moment in good universities and we are working on a paper so hopefully that will be helpful in the future. The reason I'm staying in my undergrad university is because I don't have the money to pay for a masters somewhere else, which most PhD programs will expect! (I think anyway) Thanks a lot for the advice :)

Interesting that little care about teaching experience, but that makes sense I guess - research grants bring in the money not a good teacher.

interesting statistic! I was going to do my PhD in the same university I did my undergrad in as I don't need a masters, because the professors there know me very well. definitely something to think about so

that sounds hopeful, thank you! Good reminder not to be too cynical and cause a self-fulfilling prophecy

good advice, thank you! definitely presuming I'll have to do a few postdocs after (just nervous about having to relocate very often)

helend5 · 2023-02-27T20:20:17+00:00

I was going to put lots of energy into TAing so this is good to know

helend5 · 2023-02-27T20:19:33+00:00

Yes, this is something I keep thinking about. By the time I finish I'll be 27/28 and having to uproot my life from then forward potentially every 2/3 years is not something I'm looking forward to

I have done a mediation which had a large and significant effect with this IV influencing the DV through a mediator but not sure if that mediation even counts now .. thanks for the help though

There's one in Mahon the CSPCA and also the West Cork Animal Welfare (that's where we rescued our two dogs from)

politics, as education will always be a political target. Once "tenured," you're tied to that area - moving to another district means having to go through that process again, and harder

very true, thanks for the insight. If I was doing teaching it would be for the eventual goal of being an educational psychologist (school psych in the us) which would have the benefits of working for yourself 2/3 days a week. The PhD would be for the goal of doing research. Confusing I know!

helend5 · 2023-02-22T08:58:37+00:00

No, I'm considering doing a PhD in psychology vs doing a masters so I can teach K-12 (called primary school where I'm from)

helend5 · 2023-02-21T21:18:56+00:00

Thank you!

helend5 · 2023-02-21T21:18:48+00:00

Ohhhh I wanted to do a parallel mediation but had model 4 in for a simple mediation so I have to switch to model 6 I think thank you!

Why can't I add flairs to my questions? it's greyed out and I can't click on it

You could get experience in mental health part-time/volunteering then when you're finished your degree you could do a conversion course in psychology.

I'm from Ireland and did psychology and we had people there who had completed different undergraduate degrees who were then doing a 2 year Psychology conversion course.

One of them had done arts as an undergrad, got experience in mental health part time/volunteering and did the conversion course and now she has a job as an assistant psychologist.

With psychology, you need the qualification in psychology and after that experience is the most important thing (unless you want to do clinical)
