Body: I'm considering a career shift into business systems analysis and want to explore graduate programs that align with this goal. I currently study marketing and accounting and work in financial services. I'm drawn to roles that involve process improvement, strategic problem-solving, and bridging communication between teams and systems.

Is there a route going into Psychiatry that does not involve touching people?

Hi, I know it's a weird question at first, but hear me out. I have a BS in Biological Sciences and was originally going to school looking to be a Plant Scientist, allowing myself to keep my options open by taking courses in molecular biology, genetics, microbiology, soil biology, organic chemistry, physics, etc. But after being in Environmental Microbiology labs for 2.5 years, going to therapy/psychiatrists myself, and being the go-to person to help friends and family with their emotional issues, I realized I'm more naturally inclined to interact with and help people. Because of my love for science, I want a career that will allow me to combine science and psychology, so I have been looking into Psychiatry, with the hope that there is an intersection between Psychiatry and Genetics because I have grown a love for Genetics as well over the years. But here's the issue: I simply cannot fathom using an IV, hanging a blood bag, and physically touching people in a medical sense. It makes me very queasy and I already know it is not something I am willing to do, even in the short-term. I have spoken to a Psychiatrist in the field that indicated many routes to being a Psychiatrist include these medical practices in some way, and because I hoping that is not true I am coming here to ask a larger professional community. Is there a route from the Biological Sciences degree I have to Psychiatry that does not involve mandatory clinical medical techniques? And while I am here, are any of these routes less financially taxing than others? #Spring25

How can an MBBS graduate become a licensed therapist without pursuing a full psychology degree like a Bachelor’s or Master’s?

I’m currently in medical school and passionate about becoming a therapist, not a psychiatrist. I’ve learned that an MPhil in Clinical Psychology is a direct path, but I’m worried I may not meet the eligibility requirements, as most programs require a strong foundation in psychology. Are there alternative pathways for MBBS graduates to transition into therapy while minimizing time spent on additional degrees? Any guidance on how to proceed would be deeply appreciated!

How can I cope with the sadness of leaving college?

I'm approaching my last semester as an undergraduate, and I'm already sad about leaving a really phenomenal friend group, campus, and community behind. Many people I talk to say that college is the best time of your life, and I'm worried that I'll have more to look back on than to look forward to. Can I hear some stories from professionals who came out of undergrad and found a lot of joy wherever they ended up? #undergrad #career-transition #graduation #community #campus

I work for AT&T in retail now, how can i transition to AT&T in IT?

I'm a college senior who is expected to graduate from the Information Technology program in may 2018 and currently I'm an intern as a data quality analyst. I love working for AT&T but i feel like i may have to look else where to get a start in my IT adventure, does anyone have any recommendations on how i can further my journey with AT&T(IT)? I would imagine that AT&T would want to keep an employee of 5 years and studies show that employees that stay longer with a company tend to give more time and effort to that company. Im also looking for a mentor in IT! #information-technology #internships #loyalty #att #retail #big-data #college #graduate #career-transition #mentor #search
