(“Psychologist”) In order for me to attain this dream I must get a Bachelor of Arts, a Masters Degree in psychology and possibly a Doctorate’s Degree in psychology depending on what kind of institution I would like to work in. I I will either receive a Ph. D. in psychology or a Doctor of Psychology (Psy. D.) degree and if I do, I will be able to work as a clinical, counseling or research psychologist. If I just decide to get my Master 's in psychology, then I could work as an industrial-organizational psychologist . I will need to take introductory psychology, experimental psychology, and statistics.

    Every year millions of college students ' worldwide graduate from college in hopes of obtaining a position in their career field of choice; however a lot of these students do not have a plan of action to actually help them find their career and achieve their goals. So much emphasis is put on college graduates going out and finding a "job", but little focus is put on helping them find a "career." "A five year career plan is a road map that allows for progress tracking, and development of solutions or alternate courses of action (Crump, 2009)." From personal experience I have realized that the chances of achieving my personal and career goals are increased of I actually write them out as a plan.
