I am in such a great mood!!!
I have finally worked out where I want my career to go. I wish to become a Neuro-Psychological Rehabilitation Therapist, which means I now need to do loads of work on researching the field (Yipee, I love research). I need to take a masters in Cognitive Psychology, but I hope to focus on neurological disorders and the rehabilitation techniques and experimental methods that are being researched and applied (oooh I am excited for once in my life)
I always wanted to use my psychology degree in a practical, applied manner. it will also satisfy my need to teach as I will be 'teaching' someone the framework they can use to take them from a place of neurological deficit to the place they were before, or manage the problems the do have, to have the best possible quality of life, level of dignity and highest possible level of independence. I think this could be a very rewarding job, I love people, I love puzzles and I love enabling people to do more with their lives!!!
I am happy. It has taken me a long time to know where I wanted to go with my life. And it is a transferable job spec, I can move country, as my other half wants. People are always going to have (unfortunately) accidents and acquired brain injuries. Not to mention I have seen some of this in action, and the results, and this is something I want in on!!!
Sorry for the absolute randomness of it. I just wanted to shout this one from the rooftops!!!
