Are there any psychiatrists/psychologists I can do a brief online interview with?
I need to do a 10 question interview with either a psychiatrist, psychologist or even a school counselor for a research paper on this type of career. If you happen to be a psychiatrist/psychologist/counselor, please tell me your credentials and answer the following questions: What made you choose this career? What kind of training did you have to go through? How many years did you spend in college/training? How long have you had this career? Does this job put additional emotional or mental strain on you? What employability strengths and skills are needed? What are the drawbacks of working in this field? Do you get any kind of benefits like health care? A retirement plan? What type of job stress is there? Describe an average day. The questions are straight forward and shouldn't be too time consuming. I would greatly appreciate a serious response. Thank you for your time. If you are not in a position to answer these questions, please refrain from unnecessary comments.
