leaving psych — any advice would work
hi, my Bachelor’s has been nothing BUT exhausting and going forward with the main path of clinical/counseling sounds even more mentally and physically draining with supervision hours + MA + diploma/certificate courses and then might be able to get a job in few months, at least in my global south country. when i first got into the degree, i wanted to do clinical psych, but the infrastructure to reach there is truly bad and tiring.
other than this path, what interdisciplinary fields can i try in my masters that would have at least some sort of job security considering the current job market? what degree programs will be suitable so when i am applying for jobs, i would be benefiting from BA psych?
my current score is 8.56 (1.72 in EU, 3.42 in the US), which i would try to improve in the final year. i have done a social work internship, content writing, research positions, volunteering in NGOs, and editorial work so far. i have written 2 papers, both of which are under review currently. im open to doing online certificate courses to add to my CV. what courses should i do?
also, with this grade, if i were to apply for english taught a master's in EU, will it work out in any way?
please help. any advice would work.
