My future job

When people think about a psychologist, they imagine somebody like Freud, who is psychoanalyzing you meanwhile you’re speaking, lay down on a divan. So, if you study psychology, some people would think that you are analyzing them in every moment. Another prejudice, is that people who is study psychology are a good listener and that can give a good advice. This is a very common opinion, but psychology is more than that analyze people for tell them advices about problems how to revolve its. First of all, it refers at a clinical practice and Psychoanalysis that is one of many perspectives in psychology. Psychology has many branches of knowledge, mainly clinical, organizational, and legal and social/community. Besides that, each one could divide in different perspective and theories. There are Psychoanalysis, behaviorism, cognitivism, humanism, etc. In my personal case, I’m very interested about social/community psychology that its objective is to understand the subject/persons in relation with his society and social interactions. Psychologist who dedicate to this branch can do investigations mainly, but can do practical interventions in a community to improve its working to achieve different goals. I’m not sure about what I going to do when I finish my career, but I want to do this away of Santiago, in a smaller city or town to can live far of the big cities and constant ‘movement’.
