After researching the psychology specialties listed below using the
Occupational Outlook Handbookathttp://www.bls.gov/oco/ along with the
American Psychological Association websiteat http://www.APA.org
Write a pair (2) of succinct and thorough paragraphs summarizing the job responsibilities work locations salaries education national licensing requirements and career outlook for each career represented as percentage of growth expected.
After each of the 12 paragraph pairs note whether that specialty in psychology would be of interest to you as a career option in the future and explain why or why not. (So far in class I’ve expressed an interest in School Counseling and Child Psychology)
Once the 12 sets of paragraphs and interest or non-interest explanations are complete compile them into a single APA formatted paper using the career titles as separating headings within the paper body.
End the paper with two paragraphs comparing and contrasting the way in which information about the 12 careers is communicated in the Occupational Outlook Handbook vs. how it is communicated on the APA.org website (i.e. which format was the easiest to navigate and understand; which had the most news you could use [i.e. info useful to someone accessing it to make a career decision).
This paper must be in compliance with formatting rules of the American Psychological Association (APA) and include a titlepage paper-body with sourcecredits and a reference page attached to the end listing each source used. You may useadditional internet sources to find the answers to the above as well.
***Your paper should be at least 14pages but not over 17 pages. This assignmentrequires you to write succinctly. You will need a title page anabstract and a references list but these are not counted in the 14page minimum content.*****
