Background
I am currently a student in Seoul, and my goal is to be a research psychologist and study about human behavior. Later on, I would like to specifically study about music and how it affects people emotionally. Below is my career plan that is a guide to help reach my highest goals.
University
I would like to go to a Korean university or even an ivy league in United States. A college that is famous for a psychology major is the specific college I am finding. I’d like to major in developmental psychology and minor in piano/ music.
First vocation
I’m planning to visit a psychology research center and see how experimenting works. After that I would like an actual internship position at a research center and spend some time there. This will allow me to expand my knowledge about psychology and then be able to research on my own.
Development in career
After my internship in a research center, I would like to research on my own and relate my knowledge to music therapy. This will take me some time, but I think I will be able to study about human behavior and think how music affects their lives and behavior. This is what I always wanted to do: to relate music with psychology.
Capstone of job position
When I am in adult with a job, I wish to open my own counseling and research center and help those who are in need of help. I will probably help them with my own solutions, such as music therapy. Music is such a great way to ease one’s mind and I hope I will be able to find a connection between psychology and music.
