When I finished school I really didn't know what to do because I liked so many things, specially the health area, but I was not sure, I was thinking in biology, biotechnology and marine biology too, so I was really confused. I took a year to prepare psu but didn't helped me, in fact I was more confused. So I when I got the psu results I went with the vocational advisor to help me decide because I only had three days to make the postulation. She told me that maybe the bachelor program was appropiate for my case hahah. So I entered to "bachi", finally there I realized that my area was the social sciences, I always thought that this area was related to history and maybe because of that I dismissed this option. So then I choosed psychology because of the relation with the health area and because I liked it. 
Well, psychology is a very versatile career, there are a lot of contributions from psychology in the educational area, child development, clinical tratments, laboral area, and there are also contributions to the community health, a very small brach but very interesting and with a lot of potential
In the future, maybe psychologists will have to change the way they treat their patients, this is refered to clinical psychology. It is a very personal view but I think the traditional way we are doing it at the moment is not as effective as it can be, I mean sitting in a room talking an hour per week with a patient maybe is not the most efficient way to help people. I believe that practice is really important, because life is not only in our minds, is in the relation with others and the society. Plus the constant renewal of the knowledge in our area, knowing the fact that things around us are always changing, and faster than ever, new phenomenoms and new diseases will develop considering the lifestyle we are having, so we must adapt to those changes and find new ways to manage those problems.
My favourite subject at this moment is judicial psychology, I don't know why really, maybe because there is a lot of praxis in that area and a lot of investigation and contributions yet to do.

  1. I like the "practical area" of the career. The Psycology help to the people directly
