Finding Your Place in the World
Some people may know from day one exactly what career they want to pursue. If that’s you, consider yourself lucky, because many of us don’t have a clue well into our college years (and some of us never know).
In a field as large and varied as psychology, it can be even tougher because you may not always know the scope of what is available to you. There are plenty of jobs—take industrial-organizational psychologist, for example—that you may not have even known were a thing.
The good news is that if you’re interested in a psychology career, that variety means there is undoubtedly something out there for you that will make for a successful and fulfilling career.

Many things go into deciding what career you want to pursue, and this quiz is just one way to help you hone in on what’s important. It may even take a couple tries at a career before you fully come to terms with what you cherish the most in a career. For most of us, it will come down to some combination of the following:
- Stability
- Money
- Comfort
- Interests
- Personality fit
- Job availability
With so many people looking for great jobs out there, we may have compromise on some of the above in order to find something we can be happy with. That’s perfectly fine! Whether it’s taking this quiz or spending time thinking about what matters most to you, boosting your self-awareness will go a long way toward helping you make this decision when the time comes.
