Most graduates are likely to be confronted by such questions as “Must I complete a postdoctoral placement?”, “Should I establish a private practice?”, “Will I be able to pursue both my teaching and research interests?”, “What steps must I take to get licensed?”, and “At what type of institution do I want to work?” Without proper preparation to deal with these and other issues, the resulting frustration and anxiety are not surprising.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eYour Career in Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e helps answer these and other critical questions posed by most graduates in psychology. A carefully selected cadre of authors -- all authorities in their respective areas -- directly addresses the major issues confronting recent doctoral graduates. Yet, having a doctoral degree in hand is not necessary in order to benefit from this book. The breadth of the content is relevant to a diverse array of students, aspiring professionals, and their advisors, at all educational levels and in both applied (e.g., clinical, counseling, and forensic) and nonapplied areas.\u003c\/p\u003e  \"I was pleased to serve as a contributor to Your Career in Psychology.

The editors, experienced psychologists themselves, have assembled a wonderfully diverse group of authors who provide honest, witty, and practical advice to readers contemplating new careers or career changes within the field. They discuss the obvious topics, like teaching roles, private practice, and job finding; and they take on the less pleasant prospects, such as what to do about student loans. From working effectively with mentors to being a good campus citizen, there is something here for anyone serious about psychology as a career field. The advice and counsel comes from psychologists whose wide-ranging experience will prove useful, not only to those seeking or changing careers, but to those of us engaged in teaching the next generation. This is an excellent collection of interesting, successful authors who have ‘been there and done that.’ Readers will find a wealth of useful ideas and pointers.\"\u003cbr\u003e –\u003cb\u003eKenneth D.
