Is psychology a best career option?

Hi, There is no such definition of "best career" option. It all depends on your interest and your attitude towards the behavioral pattern of this subject. A particular subject might be best for you and might not be so good for someone else. So, first try to analyse your interest and potentials. If you need help get your counselling done, it is very helpful. There are many areas of work you can go after doing graduation in psychology. Either go for higher studies and opt for college lecturer or do B.Ed and go for school teaching. You can also go for clinical psychology (science stream required).
