Where you work as a psychologist really depends upon your specialization. Clinical and Counseling Psychologists typically work in private practice, mental health organizations, hospitals, universities, or criminal justice organizations.

Bashar’s Answer
it really depends on what can you provide with your major.
if you are a corporate type of people you can work as a consultant.
if you are someone who want to help people get better you can have your own clinic.
if you want a steady paycheck you can work with governments,hospitals, clinics.
so at first study what you want and understand what you want then decide the best place to work in

Psychologists held about 192,300 jobs in 2019. Employment in the detailed occupations that make up psychologists was distributed as follows:
Clinical, counseling, and school psychologists 171,500
Psychologists, all other 19,800
Industrial-organizational psychologists 1,100
The largest employers of psychologists were as follows:
Self-employed workers 31%
Elementary and secondary schools; state, local, and private 24%
Ambulatory healthcare services 18%
Government 9%
Hospitals; state, local, and private 6%
Some psychologists work alone, doing independent research, consulting with clients, or counseling patients. Others work as part of a healthcare team, collaborating with physicians, social workers, and others to treat illness and promote overall wellness.
Work Schedules
Psychologists in private practice often set their own hours, and many work part time as independent consultants. They may work evenings or weekends to accommodate clients. Those employed in hospitals or other healthcare facilities may also have evening or weekend shifts. Most psychologists in clinics, government, industry, or schools work full-time schedules during regular business hours.
