Psychologists 

       

Duties and Responsibilities:Psychologists study cognitive, emotional, and social processes and human behavior by observing, interpreting, and recording how people relate to one another and their environments. Some psychologists work independently, conducting research or working with patients. Others work as part of a healthcare team, collaborating with physicians and social workers or in school settings, working with students, teachers, parents, and other educators. Those in private practice often work evenings and weekends to accommodate clients.

Salary: $38,720- $110,880

Education:Although psychologists typically need a doctoral degree or specialist degree in psychology, a master’s degree is sufficient for some positions. Practicing psychologists also need a license or certification. Psychologists can complete a Ph.D. in psychology or a Doctor of Psychology degree. A Ph.D. in psychology is a research degree that culminates in a comprehensive exam and a dissertation based on original research. In clinical, counseling, school, or health service settings, students usually complete a 1-year internship as part of the doctoral program.

Reflection: Being a psychologists has always interest me. That's part of my minor major that I want to do. Working with people and understanding what might be wrong with them can also help me and many others. This education field is important because you are studying how the brain works and how you can help those are people to overcome any fear or problem that they might have. But my main goal is to help others specially teenagers.

                                  Chromotherapy

Duties and Responsibilities:  Chromotherapy, sometimes called color therapy, colorology or chromatherapy, is an alternative medicine method, which is considered considered  considered pseudoscience. Chromo Therapists claim to be able to use light in the form of color to balance "energy" lacking from a person's body, whether it be on physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental levels. Research has shown it is ineffective. Color therapy is distinct from other types of light therapy, such as neonatal jaundice treatment and blood irradiation therapy which is a scientifically-accepted medical treatment for a number of conditions, and from photobiology, the scientific study of the effects of light on living organisms.



Education:There is no standard education or training for practitioners of chromotherapy. Chromotherapy is not a licensed health practice in North America.

Reflection: Sounds like a interesting career to take up because you are working with colors and how some people can be affected by which mood or how they feel by only using colors. I read an article about chromotherapy and it was about a girl who had been depressed for quite sometime and didn't know what to do or take. She later on realized her room needed a new color and changed it to light periwinkle and in a few days she started to feel much better. This career would be something I would enjoy studying for.
