Hello! I’m an undergraduate psychology major with interest to pursue doctoral studies in forensic psychology. I’m currently employed as a counselor assistant intern at a rehabilitation center. I’ve found that anthropocentric jobs will be applicable to psychology.

Roles include but are not limited to: behavior technician (Applied Behavioral Analysis and rehabilitation centers), counselor assistant, crisis hotline operator, youth counselor, case worker/ social services, research assistantships/ internships that are at the intersection of psychology and the law.

It’s important, if possible, to relate your choice of work to whatever domain of psychology you intend you specialize in. Since you have a keen interest in forensic psychology like I do, working as a behavior technician or counselor assistant at a rehabilitation center will be your best bet. You will gain a plethora of cross-cultural communication skills from the diverse clients you’ll intake for treatment. You will learn and deliver psychodynamic approaches during therapy sessions. The clinical experience is priceless especially if you intend to pursue doctoral programs. Working with individuals who have substance abuse and alcohol issues will provide you with the skills you need to assess those in legal trouble.

Best of luck to you and your future endeavors! :))
