I believe this article will be interesting for readers who have a developed human side. I would love to practice the profession of psychologist, and I look forward to sharing with readers on the subject. The profession of psychologist is so important for everyone who seeks to maintain positive mental health or even improve it.

I base my answer on the following site: https://www.careerprofiles.info/advantages-disadvantages-psychology-career.html#:~:text=should%20thoughtfully%20consider.-,1.,a%20daily%20basis%20is%20difficult. There are arguments for and against becoming a psychologist. For example, the positives are that the feeling of a psychologist successfully fixing someone's problems is very rewarding. In addition, this job is a chance to work to help different people every day. However, the most negative point of this job is that it is a stressful work environment, and it takes a lot of energy for the psychologist who deals with negativity every day.


What do psychologists do?

I base my answer on the following site : Https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/psychologists/what-a-counseling-psychologist-does-to-improve-your-mental-health/?utm_source=AdWords&utm_medium=Search_PPC_c&utm_term=PerformanceMax&utm_content=&network=x&placement=&target=&matchtype=&utm_campaign=17990185911&ad_type=responsive_pmax&adposition=&gclid=CjwKCAjwh4ObBhAzEiwAHzZYU8M2onJENSt8rZydP_OQFRUc9OuZi5qVUCMlTRtFWHJunaC1KgzVaBoCF_oQAvD_BwE The tasks of a psychologist are for example to help fix problems of all kinds. In the event of past traumas, set objectives for the clientele, write meeting reports, listen to and advise the clientele, etc.


What do psychologists do on a typical day?

A psychologist makes his own schedules so depending on the day, he meets several clients whom he listens to, understands and advises. He then writes notes of his meeting to remind himself of key topics to discuss again at the next meeting.


Where do psychologists work?

Psychologists can work from home, in a practice or even in a rental office in their name. The beauty of this profession is in this freedom to choose his place of work according to the limits of the psychologist and thus, he can respect himself and accommodate his way of life to his way of working.


How can I become a psychologist?

The early career to become a psychologist is difficult. The school programs are contingent and very good academic results are taken into account when going to university. In Quebec, for a psychologist to obtain his title, he must have a doctorate in Psychology and be part of the professional order. Moreover, he must create his own clientele and will need references to grow and live fully from this profession.


How much money do psychologists make?

According to the following site: https://www.glassdoor.ca/Salaries/psychologist-salary-SRCH_KO0,12.htm A psychologist should make approximately and on average $111,000 per year. These figures are based on 184 anonymous salaries of psychologists.


What kinds of additional training do psychologists need?

According to the order of psychologists of Quebec, the 4 requirements to become a psychologist would be 1. To be a member of a professional order. 2. To hold a master's degree in the field of mental health and human relations. 3. Have completed 765 hours of theoretical training in psychotherapy at the university level. This training must have been acquired. 4. Have completed 600 hours of psychotherapy training. https://www.ordrepsy.qc.ca/resume-des-4-exigences


What are the dangers of being a psychologist?

As the job of psychologist is emotionally taxing, the risks of depression, burnout, chronic fatigue, and muscle aches are significant. A psychologist should also have psychological support in order to avoid the subjects listed earlier.


What are the chances that psychologists will be replaced by robots soon?

In my opinion, I don't believe that a human can be replaced by a robot as a psychologist. The most important thing as a psychologist is the human side, empathy. A psychologist's clientele needs support and to feel that another person is on their side. He must feel the openness, and humanity of his confidant, and it is for this reason that to replace a human by a robot in the profession of psychologist would be harmful to humans in need.


What age do psychologists retire at?

"The pension fund on which psychologists and psychotherapists depend is the CIPAV, an organization dependent on the RSI. To benefit from a full-rate pension for insured people born after 1972, all plans combined must contribute 172 quarters, or 43 years." https://www.capmedical.fr/details-la+retraite+des+psychologues+et+psychotherapeutes+liberaux+-365.html#:~:text=La%20caisse%20de%20retraite%20dont,172%20trimestres%2C%20soit%2043%20ans. I believe that a psychologist works very hard throughout his life to obtain this condition. After a DES, a DEC, a BAC, a master's and a doctorate, if the studies are done diligently without delay, a psychologist should retire around the age of 68.


Conclusion

To conclude, this job seems to be a huge professional and personal challenge. I believe that to become a psychologist you have to be diligent, studious, human and attentive to people in need. I believe that my personal qualities would be of great help to society. And you, would you be ready to devote so many years of your life to studying and proving yourself in this profession?
