2. The psychologists work with a number of educational institutions and help the students and even the teachers and the parents in deciding the career of the students with the counseling sessions. These sessions are extremely valuable for the students as they clear all the confusions and help them to decide their career. CareerGuide is one such example where the psychologists are helping the students as counselors and assisting them in reaching their dreams.

3. The psychologists are also involved i their research if they are connected with the academic and research world. They develop theories and also the practical aspects of psychology and work on the research and development of it. They are often keen to learn new things and hence innovate the different models so that they can provide the valuable contribution to this world.

4. The psychologists these days are often get hired by the corporate houses sometimes temporary or sometimes on the permanent basis in order to counsel the employees.
