Welcome to today’s conversation on the psychology of a psychology student - specifically, one who has just complete her first term back at school! Here is my 30-minute summary of 120 hours studying.

We will go through key learnings from the six-week course on the Psychology Industry – discussing accreditation, pathways to employment, the 9 different types of psychologists, skills and attributes required in the profession, goal setting, motivation, job satisfaction, team dynamics and mindfulness - at a very top line.

If you are interested in studying or exploring psychology further, this one may be for you.

Enjoy!
