Obtaining a master’s degree in psychology is the ticket
to becoming a professional in the counseling, clinical or
educational arenas of psychology.

The first step in pursuit of a psychology career is for the
candidate to honestly evaluate his or her personality
type and the method of practice that best utilizes
individual talent and skills.
For some psychology professionals interpersonal skills may be the
dominate factor and be best served by a career in education or
counseling.

A master’s degree is sufficient to teach psychology at
most community colleges, which can be a fantastic work
environment for the professional who wishes to work
light or varied hours with all major holidays free.
In addition, the psychology educator may have plenty of time to
work towards a doctorate degree while maintaining a full or part-
time work schedule.

For those who wish to supervise a virtual classroom,
psychology educators are in demand from online
university degree programs.
Counseling psychology employment is plentiful at educational
facilities, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, employee counseling
within major corporations, and sole proprietorships in private
practice.

The government is another prime source for a lucrative
psychology career with a master’s degree.
Qualified psychologists at jails, prisons and mental health facilities
are needed to make inmate evaluations before probation and parole
officers may act.

The testing procedures and written reports provided by
the resident psychologist are often the final
determination as to the release of an inmate.
This type of forensic psychologist will be literate with legal jargon
and must have a solid understanding of criminal behavior, courts
and corrections.

Social work is another popular choice for those who hold
a post graduate degree in psychology.
The social worker is expected to understand and comply with the
local, state and federal laws, but must also be adept in counseling
and reassuring clients.

In most situations a social worker is an outside position
that will require daily travel within the county, making this
an excellent career option for those who like to travel.
And the majority of a social worker’s paperwork may be done from
home, giving this psychology job a sense of freedom and
detachment from the office.
