Post 6: Postgraduate studies

Hi! In this post i’m going to write about the postgraduate studies I may want to do in the future. Up until now I haven’t given any thought to postgraduate studies, because I haven’t finished my psychology undergraduate studies yet. To be honest I don’t really like studying that much. I’d rather work without the need to have more university degrees, however I may need to get a masters or a PHD, since that would improve my chances of getting a very good job. If I were to do so, I’d try to study while working, because I have my mind set on paying for my own degrees after finishing my undergraduate courses, and that means I can’t study abroad, which I don’t find attractive anyway.

As I said, a postgraduate degree isn’t very appealing to me, but that doesn't mean I don’t think that it’s important to learn constantly about how one’s career might change through the years, and that’s why going to conferences and short courses is so important. If professionals of any kind don’t work on improving their skills, they risk doing a bad job.

What I really don’t want to do is to go through another undergraduate course, I really like what I study and no one forced me to take this choice, however things could change and this is exclusively what I think in the present.
