WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS?
In 10 years, as a psychologist, I see myself in a few different roles. I might be working in a private practice, helping individuals with their mental health. Another option is working in a hospital or clinic, providing therapy and assessments. I could also be involved in research, contributing to the understanding of psychological issues, or I might be teaching at a university, shaping the next generation of psychologists.
