Your career plans?

I'm currently doing an undergraduate degree in Psychology & Psychophysiology. I graduate from that next year then I plan to do Honours in Psychology and proceed to a Doctorate of Clinical Psychology. As far as actual career, I'm interested in eating disorders, alcohol & drug abuse, and criminal rehabilitation.

I'm in my late 20s and I have two degrees - a bachelor of science with honours in psychology, and a masters in clinical psychology. Since finishing uni I worked counselling children & families, teenagers and young adults. Then I had a baby and had some time off. Now I am back at work 3 days a week. I work at a university on a research project looking at memory decline in old age and what factors might indicate someone will develop dementia. I really love working with older people and I am learning so much from them.

As for goals, I'm not too sure. I think at some stage I will go back to counselling/therapy but not sure what specific area. I did enjoy working with youth but I also like the elderly so maybe a mix!

Good on you Aimee, drug and alcohol work is hard but there always seem to be plenty of jobs in that field.

And to the original poster - I love your goals and enthusiasm!! I hope you achieve what you aim to!  

I'm currently studying Animal Studies, going into Captive Animals and hopefully going into Wildlife Conservation when I live in Victoria I want to work with raptors.

You bastard! I wanted to get into that course xD

Admire your courage. Have you SEEN Jurassic park?!

Even though I'm only 15, i really want to get into animal behavioural psychology, mainly on wild animals, so i deffs want to go to uni. as a paying job though, i would really love to work at either an ethical zoo or wildlife park, or maybe even a vegan business or my most recent aspiration- a LOTF franchise in Adelaide! . I also a big house and lots of animals and i want to travel... i know i have expensive dreams! lol

I'm in year 9 and I honestly am having a difficult time deciding I want to do when I'm older, because once I finish school I want to get into a career/job straight away.
I'm thinking of either an Author, an animal welfare officer, a piercer or a gay rights activist.
I'd probaly be writing novels in my spare time or doing piercing, but it's either the animal welfare officer or gay rights activist I really want to focus on.

I want to be an animator when I grow up. I think I'd really enjoy it
I've always loved to draw, but now I'm into making animations (kinda the same thing lol)
Sooooo, when I'm older I am going to make a full animated film, and get lot's of money (if it's good) Then I'm going to donate to charities.

My family supports me, no matter what I draw. Some of my uncles and aunties give me idea's.

Although some family members hate my drawings and animations. *wink* * wink* Sonic and anime rule z!
