Limitless Career Opportunities in Diverse Fields
Quite simply, reading Psychology at Queen's transformed my way of thinking and my life.
I had applied on the presumption that I would gain some mystical insight into people's souls; instead, I was introduced to science and discovered how it is not a set of disciplines like Physics or Biology but a systematic way of checking theories against facts. I realised how lazy it is to base ideas on anecdotes and suppositions and how misguided we can be by intuition. I learned how vulnerable humans are to misperceptions, misremembering and to social pressure.
Eventually, I was distracted from my career path- I had been determined to become a clinical psychologist and hoped to work with children and adolescents. Instead, I drifted into broadcasting, encouraged by my head of department, Professor Seth ("You can come back to Psychology whenever you like; you might never get a chance in radio or TV again"). I always maintained that when I grew up I would get a proper job and that I really would go back to be a psychologist for real. Instead, what I learned at Queen's has shaped my whole career, with a constant quest for evidence rather than mere opinion.
