🎓 Academic Are Psychologists in Demand in the Philippines?

[GamerzOnly]

I am a Grade 11 HUMSS student. I am choosing between being a lawyer or a psychologist. My question is, are lawyers and psychologists in demand? What are the possibilities in the future? What could you recommend to me?

Thank you and have a great day!

lawyers po in demand lalo na ngayon. Lahat ng batas kung mapera yung tao dinadaan sa lawyer. mataas pa bigayan

sadly to say na mas in demand siguro ang lawyer kesa sa mga psychologists sa Pinas. I'm a BS Psychology pero based on my perspective 'di pa rin narerecognize ang mga Psychologists in their field kumpara sa ibang bansa. Mga lower-middle class family eh karamihan 'di pa nakakapunta sa mga mental health professionals dahil may kamahalan din. Laywer naman medyo matatagalan ka sa pag-aaral pero kung wala ka namang hinahabol na oras eh go for it. Ako eh nag-iisip pa din ako kung ano kukunin ko trabaho in the future eh i'm thinking about Psychologists or HR pero madami naman options pag tapos ka ng BS Psych hahahaha

Yung ibang registered psychologists na kilala ko teachers sila sa college. Meron din na nagtatrabaho as ordinary office workers at di nagagamit license nila dahil hindi tugma yung scope ng pinag-aralan sa current job nila.Hindi rin ganun kataas ang sweldo. Ang kawawa dyan yung psych major na walang balak mag-take ng Master's or doctorate. An undergraduate in psychology doesn't mean anything unless one plans to further his/her education.
