Question Posted Wednesday October 12 2005, 4:33 pm
I am in the 10th grade and I have been thinking about what I want to be when I leave college. I now have discovered that I might look into being a psychologist. Can anyone help me find like websites that will help me research more about this. Thank you

It might take a lot of work though, but if you're really interested in researching this, then do it. You should call up a local psychiatrist, and ask to do an intership. Some might refuse you, but others would probably let you sit in on the sessions as long as the patient says alright.

the good thing about ACAP is all you need to get into it is English. Anything else you need all sciences and advanced maths (well over here you do) so if you're doing those subjects, good luck!!!!

The drawback is that you have to register, but it's free. It tells you what it's like in the career, what you do, other similar careers, majors, internship oppotunitues, etc.

I'm not sure if this will help you, but it's worth a try.
I understand what you are going through completely. I'm a Junior! I reeeally have to think about what I'm going to do.
And really, I decided on something I know I'll enjoy doing. Well, I've narrowed it down to two.
M.A (medical assistant) and Computer Tech.
