College and Career Clarity

Have you ever wondered why so many students who major in psychology and intend to work in the field land elsewhere in their career? I noticed this trend when I was recently interviewing candidates to work at my company and the job had nothing to do with psychology!

Dr. Robin Arthur joined me on the podcast to not only explore and answer this question but she also shares the challenges and rewards of a career in Psychology. She reveals the necessary skills and many opportunities in the field depending on a student's wiring, self awareness, and goals.

Robin is very passionate about helping teens and young adults navigate mental health challenges that are always present, but more prevalent and complicated in the wake of Covid. Her current work, in addition to being a practicing psychologist, is easily accessible tools she shares so you’ll be equipped to help your teen.
