I am currently looking for a job. I would like to find one that would allow me to help other people with mental illness. One job I applied for today would be as a night counselor in a residential treatment facility for women with mental health struggles who have recently been released from prison. That would be great but I am not sure what kind of havoc would be wreaked on my emotional stability from working nights, haha.
I am also looking at jobs in research labs. I worked as a lab assistant for seven months last year, between undergrad and getting my masters.
We'll see what I end up doing. I really wanted to go to med school, but I think that I am not strong enough. I recently finished a masters program in physiology that was designed to prepare people for med school, and I did not do well in it. I don't have my final grades yet, but my GPA first semester was only a 3.27.
I think it would be cool to be a research psychologist.
