Hi, the Indian army has a wonderful alternative for all those who aspire to serve for a few years. It is called short service commission (ssc). It gives you the option of joining the Indian army, and serving as a commissioned officer for 14 years i.e. For an initial period of 10 yrs, extendable by 4 yrs. Once you have completed 10 yrs of service, you are allowed to opt for permanent commission. Alternatively, you can also ask for release from service on completion of 5th year of service. With a short service commission, you will have the best of both worlds. Even as it gives you the privileges and benefits of a full-fledged commission, you will be imbibing qualities like analytical thinking skills, planning ability, administrative powers, organisational talent that will make you an invaluable asset to any organization that you join after the army. At the end of the day, 5-14 yrs as an ssc officer will make you a leader for life. For details on the procedure of recruitment you may check these websites: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://indianarmy.nic.in/arms/aec/join.html" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>http://indianarmy.nic.in/arms/aec/join.html</a> , <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://joinindianarmy.nic.in/" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>http://joinindianarmy.nic.in/</a> . The job opportunities for a Psychologist are good in the Indian Army. One can work as a psychologist in the recruitments of officers, or could do councelling for the army officers who go through a lot of stress during their day. One can take some councelling sessions or classes on how to overcome stress. Hope this helps. If you need further help or guidance, you could revert. All the best.
