I'm about to start a degree in Psychology, and I dunno if that's a weird thing for someone like me to do..? Im kinda obsessed with criminal psychology, pretty much all the books I read are about abnormal psychology or criminal profiling so I'd love to work with offenders one day.
I think I struggle to understand how most people think anyway, so it makes me quite objective to people whose brains make them do unpleasant things. It's kinda like a deaf composer writing music because they've learnt what notes go well together as opposed to because they can hear it..
Does anyone on here work in a Psychology related job?

I study psychology as do quite a few others. How that translates into the workforce for me after graduation im not quite sure yet. I'm hoping to either do a PhD or get a graduate government job after.

i just finished my degree in psychology... though i have no idea how i am supposed to find employment with it... and seeing as how my grades are not good enough to continue on to graduate school...
ill probably end up flipping burgers while i finish a certification for some random crap or another.

I did a degree in Psychology and graduated in 2005, also completing a Masters in 2008. Never managed to get a job. I'm focussing largely on the statistics side of things but having no luck there. Interview feedback wherever I go for graduate jobs always says "did not show enough evidence of team work skills or managing work." I am particularly interested in the internet and Psychology, and my dream job would be a Cyber Psychologist (not in a clinical sense).
