Psychology
has a very high
career asset value,
especially for business, media, teaching,
counseling, and
public service careers. The unusually high asset
value is largely due to the insights into human
behavior that the studies provide.
A broad grasp of the subject, as offered in
studies of General Psychology, is most important ...
essential. The value of the various specialties
within psychology largely depend on the exact nature
of your chosen career. Clinical Psychology, for
example, would add little to a career in marketing
or advertising, but ongoing studies in Cognitive
Psychology and Social Psychology would contribute
significant insights and experiences.
Learning experiences in psychology can also
impact your career in a more indirect fashion
by providing insight into your personal
beliefs, attitudes, motives and behavior.
