A psychologist is a social scientist who studies human emotions and behavior.
Many psychologists work for universities.
They teach and also do research, making it difficult to divide time evenly. There are four different kinds of degrees one would want to consider if going into the psychology field. If only trained with a bachelor's degree it is difficult to find a job. A great deal of education goes into a psychology degree, especially an advanced degree. In order to receive a Ph.D. one must have five to seven years of graduate study and one year of internship.
