      Some quick background. I work in research, so that is a specific area of psychology. I’m not even sure if technically it counts as being a “psychologist”, or whether you need to be a practising psychologist for that. I’m bad with labels 🙂

      Anyway, from my perspective, working in psychological research is amazing. I get to delve into ideas that interest me and obsess over the things that I find interesting. This is a real privilege. There are a few downsides, overall though it depends whether you are interested in working in that area. Personally, I think it is an awesome job!
