Answer 3

If your high school offers a psychology course, you should take it. Just keep in  mind that psychology is more than just therapy (which, by the way, you won't learn about until you go to graduate school). Research is an integral part of psychology, so you will need to take research methods and statistics in university. Majoring in psychology would be wise, but you should also consider minoring in a 2nd language because that will set you apart from other applicants when it comes time to applying for jobs. Once you have your bachelor's degree, you can apply for graduate school. There are many specializations within psychology (e.g., clinical, counselling, school, industrial/organizational, etc.). Take the time to figure out what your interests and career goals are...of course, you are young and you will change your mind, but it's good to start thinking about it at least. Don't be afraid to talk to university students majoring in psychology or professionals in the field. Most people are happy to share their experiences with others. Good luck!
