Is Psychology the only option?
I love helping people, and when I say that, I mean the kind of "giving advice" kind of help. I know I can be a psychologist, but are there any other options? I don't want to be a psychiatrist, so please don't suggest that. Thank you!

youth couselor, a specific kind of psychology degree, teacher, foster care parent for kids who have been through a lot, youth crisis counselor...the possibilities are endless. i too am considering doing a "giving advice" kind of job in the future but really, you dont have to make it a profession to help people. i have never seen my school counselor...the ladies that work in the office are the ones i go to when im freaking out or need help. my friends mom is a firefighter and she guided me through a lot. do what you like. <3

Hiya,
I have a degree in Psuchology and I don't do the whole "let's sort peoples heads out!"
It's a good foundation subject..... there are SOOOOOOOO many things that you can do with a psychology qualification!
I am a youth worker! I love it - I get to help people when they feel that they have nowhere to turn and make them realise that htey have their whole lives ahead of them, and that the possibilities are endless!
Whatever you decide to do make sure it is what YOU want to do.
Take care

Three wors Child and Youth Worker.You have to be willing and able to put up with a lot here. These people tackle handling kids and teens who have been through a lot and the system spat them out. It's bleak but the one job that always has openings because others did it and it got to them. Seperating work from your own life has to be the biggest skill to develop when working with children and teens in situations and or crisis.

Well you could always be a social worker or a high school counselor or even a teacher for that matter. They all help people in one way or another.

You could think about becoming a psychotherapist, which is, roughly speaking,halfway between being a psychologist and a psychiatrist. Unlike psychiatrists, phsycotherapists do not require a medical degree. They have however more contact with patients than psychologists who are really academics. Alternatively, you could try life coaching. Good luck!

You can also create a website for helping people, and live off of the proceeds. But I do not know of any other particular job that involves that, besides like a "Marriage Counselor" or a Guidence Counselor...

You want to be a Psychologist? Yet you're wondering if there are any other options? Why? You just said you wanted to be a Psychologist, so be a Pshychologist. If not, I do have anotehr option for ya. Being a minion of mine. It's free, the hours are flexible, and you only have to tell people they're idiots on this site if the question sucks. I'll give ya some time to think about it...I know the decision is a hard one.
