Pros and Cons of doing a Career Change in Psychology in the UK

In this week's video, I decided to talk about the truth behind doing a career change in psychology as an international student in the UK. I talk about the pros and cons I’ve found along the way, the stage where I’m at, and my next steps as well. It is a long-term commitment and the opposite of it being a straightforward process, but, as I usually say, it’s mostly about enjoying all the stages and not just the end goal. Still, this video is meant to give aspiring international (or local) students, who are thinking about doing a career change in Psychology, some insights as to what it really entails and the things they should consider beforehand (e.g. thinking about the type of role they want to do after their degree). Hope this is useful! 😊
