Thumbs up Do what you want

Who cares what the job market says! There are people who studied psychology and have found their dream jobs. People who say "Oh the economy is not creating jobs! There's no demand for your career" are people who don't have control over their lives. When you believe in YOU, you'll always get what you need. You just need to be willing to take risks to create the future you want. Sometimes it won't be pleasant, but it can be done.

You should find someone who's in a psychology career and loves it. They'll tell you to follow your heart and that you'll soon find a way to have your dream career. You don't have to take a traditional route to psychology by teaching or being a therapist. You can work for a corporation, NASA, biotech companies, technology companies, whatever!

I studied math in college and I thought I was going to be a doctor. Then I changed my mind because I hated all the science. And now? Well, I'm self-employed in software marketing and I'm writing a book. In addition, I found a way to attend to grad school AND live in two countries. I just finds ways to do what I want and I'm 26 years old. Lots of people have told me that what I'm doing is crazy, but I'm enjoying my life and I'm learning to make more money. And them? Well they're still too afraid to go after their dreams and they're complacent. So who's crazy?

If you're creative and willing to be persistent, you can do whatever you want. Some people will tell you what you can't do, but be careful of whom you listen to. I only listen to people who are successful.

Good Luck!
