My dream job!


            If I could choose any dream job, I would like to become a clinical psychologist for the following reasons. First of all, working as a clinical psychologist means I have to practice in a challenging environment. I find that fixing people's problems is not an easy job for it requires a great deal of skill and knowledge of human beings. I imagine that sometimes I have to deal with some deadly depressed patients, and I must try my best to find the approaches to cure their emotional illness. Once they could put away their depression, I feel released and joyful, like having totally defeated in a heavy battle. This idea may come from the time I was in high school and in university. I had a plenty of friends who usually told me their stories of social life. Some were in troubles with boyfriends while the others had to be in a cleft stick with their job. They came to share with me and asked me how to solve the difficulties.  At that time, I felt like being a problem solver, a reliable one that people can entirely count on. I had put myself on their shoes to find how the troubles were and we together made them clear. Every time they became happy after days of sadness, I felt so wonderful because of my effective help to my friends. Moreover, the treatment of mental disorder does not require and allow dispensing actual medication and making prescriptions. We just use natural therapy and method to help the patients feel better.  It sounds great for me because I am really scared of injection needles and blood.  So I can treat people as I am a doctor but without the intervention of medicine.  One last reason is the salary for clinical psychologist is quite high. According to a research, the average payment is about $75.000 a year. Those with more experience and with doctoral degrees in psychology are usually paid higher than who are not. I think to earn high salary is not so hard because of the ever-increasing mental disorder patients nowadays. The more we treat people, the more experience we gain.  Personally speaking, it is worthy for people who contributes their value for the benefits of life and takes back what they are supposed to have. A dream job is actually not a job that must be paid much money. It should be a position that we love to do and we dedicate our life to the target that we have set. To put it in a nutshell, because of the challenge, the happiness as well as the advantages given to me naturally, I wish I could be a clinical psychologist to cure those who have problems with emotional disorder.
