When I picture my future I picture me being successful, living in a large city like Manhattan or Boston and having a great job. I'm majoring in Psychology and I wouldn't mind being a Clinical Psychologist with my own practice and specializing in Marriage and Family therapy. I've taken a billion career aptitude tests online and basically every single one said that I would make a good therapist because I'm good with people. However, ever since I was little I wanted to be a vet. The thing is I hate chemistry and blood and can't picture myself putting an animal to sleep. I know people say you get used to it but I don't think I want to get used to killing an animal or having guts and blood in my hands. I honestly can't see myself in the profession but for some reason I don't want to let it go. What should I do? Are there any careers that encompass both psychology and animals?I need advice about my major and career!?
To become a psychologist you have to get a doctorate. This will take you enough work that any animal studies will distract you from what you will make your living at. And any animal involved job not involving being a vet will pay a lot less.
However, nothing will stop you from volunteering when you can at animal shelters where you may continue your other interest and to help out our furry friends. Besides, by doing that and your psych doctorate perhaps your research for you doctorate could be how animal behavior mimics human behavior in so many ways.I need advice about my major and career!?
sure, you can do research about animals and their psychology. there is always something that you can do.
Animal training, maybe
