Psychologists can be found in laboratories, hospitals, courtrooms, schools and universities, community health centers, prisons, and corporate offices. Wherever people are, there is a need for a psychologist. Employment Outlook Psychology has a very bright future. Among fields requiring a college degree, it is expected to be the third fastest-growing field in America through the year 2005 and to grow steadily for at least another dozen years after that. The greatest expansion of career opportunities in the last decade has been in the subfields of clinical, counseling, school, health, industrial and educational psychology.
Psychology is a versatile degree.
Masters level students often work under the direction of a doctoral psychologist especially in clinical, counseling, school and testing and measurement psychology. Bachelor level graduates are sometimes employed as assistants, behavioral technicians or aides. Outside of the field, a psychology degree is an excellent preparation for any field that requires strong people skills. Sumner Mental Health Clinic has a reputation as one of the top clinics in the area.
