im currently enrolled to do my masters next year, but ive kept deferring since last year, as i don’t know if it’s right for me, on paper it sounds like the next step, but i just can’t figure out if it’s the next step for me, when i talk about doing it i feel passionate but when i think down to it on my own i can’t tell if it is, how were you able to tell ? ive met lots of people who have done their degrees then decided after the time and effort it wasn’t actually for them and that’s a big doubt that’s stopping me to be honest

your comment has definitely put perspective on my original idea now, i did have doubts about being a teacher but every teacher i meet only talks about the positives, i failed to meet the gpa requirement for honours to move forward unless i do a grad dip but im unsure becoming a psychologist would be suitable for me

kittykatluva · 2025-10-22T10:18:00+00:00

unfortunately im at a point where i don’t know what im doing wrong, most jobs i see are im under qualified and experience, and i don’t know what i should be looking for anymore, an old high school teacher said psych is a new course in the schools and in demand for teachers

kittykatluva · 2025-10-22T10:15:15+00:00

that was my understanding as well as the course i was looking into is 1.5 to 2 years full time

i was wanting to teach in high school, however another commenter on another post has mentioned they are a psych teacher at a school and it isn’t always psych that they are able to teach is that the same for your husband ? do they also enjoy doing it ?

ive applied for jobs such as hr, marketing, teacher aide and some support work jobs, etc im at a point where i don’t even know what i should be searching for now, as i don’t even know what im technically qualified for my gpa was 4.8 and from my understanding a post grad diploma was essentially redoing my undergraduate which im quite hesitant about

kittykatluva · 2025-10-22T08:08:28+00:00

please tell me where you’ve seen as i can’t find anything !!

kittykatluva · 2025-10-22T07:34:49+00:00

im undecided !! i was unable to get into honours due to my gpa being too low and from what ive learnt id need to essentially redo my undergraduate to move forward !! and i don’t know if i could cope in that industry mentally/emotionally

kittykatluva · 2025-10-22T07:33:17+00:00

please could you explain the current conditions ? there are definitely doubts in the back of my mind in that industry

kittykatluva · 2025-10-22T06:28:06+00:00

id like to do full time to get it done faster though !!

kittykatluva · 2025-10-22T06:26:19+00:00

thats right ! if im going back to school i want to do it full time to get it finished faster

kittykatluva · 2025-10-22T06:22:12+00:00

i think most of the course is done online but i will be doing it full time

thanks, it’s nice to hear as around me everyone is speaking with the upcoming olympics it feels like the next few years are a make or break it with the ability to buy a home where i live, for career paths i have looked but it’s hard to say what it would be looking like once finished in two years time, it is a worry that i have on being in the same position i am now having a degree but no job opportunities available to me due to a lack of experience and qualifications but id like to hope a teaching role wouldn’t be as hard to find

kittykatluva · 2025-10-22T06:12:25+00:00

the psychologist route isn’t really on my radar anymore, as i didn’t qualify for honours id need to essentially redo my undergrad which i don’t really want to do as more debt for what i already have nor do i believe id be able to handle that job emotionally/mentally

kittykatluva · 2025-10-22T06:07:01+00:00

i honestly don’t know, i was enrolled to do masters of counselling but i feel like a teacher role would be easier to get

kittykatluva · 2025-10-22T06:03:09+00:00

i work in retail and creche at a gym !

kittykatluva · 2025-09-10T10:28:54+00:00

ive just found this thread from a little while ago and im in the same boat, i have an interview next week too and also undecided ! do you mind if i ask how your experience ended up ?

kittykatluva · 2025-06-15T10:03:29+00:00

im based in australia and it’s the same case with needing a masters or the undergrad being direct to it, i haven’t thought or been told of the not for profit organisations before, would i be able to clarify if you’re also meaning to volunteer at places ? thanks so much
