I was thinking I could identify what it is about being a psychologist I think interests me and see if there's another job that would provide those tasks or experiences. For example, I was considering working in a homeless shelter or as a case manager at the mhc. Those jobs would allow me to be of help to people in the population I'm thinking I might like to work with. I wouldn't be a therapist, of course, but maybe that's not what I'm looking for? I don't know. Just exploring. And the exploring is kind of fun. Like planning a vacation.
If I decide I'm interested in becoming a psychologist, I'll have to get the degree.
