How should I look forward for a career in clinical psychologists in abroad as an Indian student.
I am currently pursuing my class 11th with the science (pcb) stream in india. Earlier I was preparing for neet-ug exam but now I am not and I am looking forward for a career in psychology or clinical psychology from abroad. I currently don't have psychology as a subject in my school and maths and chemistry are my negatives whereas I am comfortable with biology mostly and I am also interested in psychology. Guide me step by step also tell the if if not scenerios for each step, like if I fail in this step then what like this, respectively.
I would like to complete a research project, but I do not know where to start. How should I go about doing this?
I know that I want to do this project in neuroscience. I would love to one day enter the Regeron STS. I recently started studying on my own about the brain, but there are so many things I need to learn and understand, so a mentor or internship where I will learn and perform lab experiments with an adult who will help me would be most beneficial. I understand that independent research is meant to be done on my own, but everyone learns from other people's work to create something new. I would like to do my research project beside scientists and resources from whom I can learn the most and find something new. Thank you.
What is the best choice of major/ career for me? (math and physics based)
I am a 16 year old high school junior (and am planning on going to college) and I have always been interested in fields like nuclear science and astronomy. I am open, and not restricting myself to the fields above, since I do not know exactly what would be the best path for me. -I really want to do a position including math (any type works, as long as this is a great part of the job.) -My school is on the smaller side, so I have not had really any experience with coding or engineering (I want to know how big of an undertaking a job like the ones above will be knowing I have basically no understanding) -I have not been able to take a physics class, but it does intrigue me, and I would like to maybe have this be a core part of my job as well (trying to figure out as well how much of a problem this would be) -I have never really been drawn to jobs in the medical, financial or teaching world. -I want to have a job that is transferable- it's not so incredibly specialized that I cannot get a job anywhere.

How can I build confidence, gain research experience, and access strong opportunities in fields like Neuroscience and Data Science—especially when I’m starting with little background and attending a small private university with limited resources?
Did you know much about research and its process before you started? And how did you ensure getting research opportunities throughout college? I feel like I’m going into this with little to no background information, and it’s definitely hitting my confidence a bit. I’m very open to learning more and really want more exposure to that environment as someone interested in Neuroscience and Data Science. I also have another question: what are some methods you used to access as many resources and opportunities as possible? I am currently attending a small private university and am starting to get worried about the different resources and opportunities that I may have access to. However, I do not want this to be the excuse as to why I couldn’t acquire as many opportunities as I wish I could, accessible or not. I may seem overly ambitious, but I truly believe there is still so much I can do and I have the potential to make it a reality.
