SOCIAL & COMMUNITY
I decided to write this article because I really think there is value in quitting your job to get a pay rise. I would take the value of a new experience seriously. It could open a lot of doors.
After my degree I thought I could save the world, so I interned for four months in Equador. Then I came home and tried to get a job. But I didn’t. I didn’t even get a single interview. I probably applied for 50 jobs and it was really disheartening.
Yeah, I have been on shifts when emergencies have happened. Unfortunately I was the only worker on.
But I never think, “How on earth did you let yourself get like this?” because the reality is more complex.
What the job is like and his advice for getting into the role.
Yesterday I saw a young person that is self-harming, hearing voices and who is traumatised by what life has thrown at them.
“She’d been diagnosed with schizophrenia and acute anxiety. Her voices advised her to hoard belongings whilst her anxiety and paranoia were increasing due to the hoarding. It was a mess.”

How do you find a criminal when the motivations of a crime aren’t evident?
Contrary to popular opinion, a degree in Psychology does not teach you to be a therapist of any kind.
Given the chance to go back and do it all over again, would I? Was it all actually worth it?
We no longer have to choose between “doing good financially” or “doing good socially”
