geropsychology

My female owner has been tossing around with some ideas. Firstly, she has been thinking of pursuing a PhD, just for the fun of it. She thinks that she has the ability to pull through the painful process but what is stopping her is having to secure funding. Then again, she realises that if she doesn’t try, she never knows if she can secure a scholarship. More importantly, she is also unsure of how to make that switch.

Another thought closer to reality, and definitely within her control, that just formed today is that she may switch from a clinical psychology stream to a clinical psychology and geropsychology stream. The difference is that when she graduates, she would be both a clinical psychologist and a specialist in geriatrics, a field which she expects to boom in the new future.

The difference in terms of coursework would be taking different modules. She is still unsure because there are modules which she is keen to take, but they are not offered in the geropsychology stream.

Hmmm… she never strikes me as someone who likes to work with older adults. I mean, this is the opposite spectrum of the age group she is passionate about – adolescents and youths.
