So, today is the last day of class for my BS in Psychology. Over the past few years, I feel I have realized my strengths and weaknesses. Though I came out wanting to be a clinical psychologist, I know it isn't me. I literally had a year where I would not leave the house because I was worried about getting sick in public (I have celiac disease and have a bit of paranoia about contacting gluten away from restrooms lol.) I know being around the things of which psychologists in clinical settings experience will set my anxiety level off again. So, these past few months I have been thinking and IO Psychology seems like a good fit for me, particularly a terminal masters. My problem is, I have never been around anyone who specialized in it. I try to look on job boards for these positions, but really find none. Where do the majority of you guys work? I would love to eventually focus on helping workers with disabilities, which has got me interested in it. I just know a BS in Psychology (what I have now) is a dime a dozen and I don't want to invest time and money into something that isn't hiring. Luckily enough, I went to a constituent of UNC which was cheap enough (and I was poor enough? lol) that I have zero undergrad debt thanks to pell grants, so I don't mind the reality that debt will arise, if it is worth it, because I am not piling it on top of other debt, but I don't want debt for nothing. Anyways, sorry for rambling and I appreciate any advice!
