Career Paths in Psychology is a must-have resource for students contemplating a career in psychology, for psychologists considering switching between areas of psychology, and for professionals thinking of switching to psychology from another field. In this comprehensive anthology, authors selected for their distinction in their chosen careers offer their professional--and personal--perspectives on 19 different graduate-level careers in psychology. Few fields of study offer more career opportunities than does psychology, and readers will find thoughtful discussions, leavened with tips and insights gained from personal experience, on the full range, including (to name only a few) academia, clinical psychology, health and school psychology, clinical neuropsychology, and government service. Each chapter discusses the nature of the career, its advantages and disadvantages, how to prepare for it, typical activities, ranges of financial compensation, opportunities for employment, and the personal attributes needed for success in the career. "Day in the life" discussions give readers a glimpse into the prosaic realities, challenges, and rewards of each career that the lab or lecture hall rarely provides. Reprinted eight times since the publication of the first edition in 1997, Career Paths in Psychology is recognized as the "go-to" sourcebook for anyone seeking a candid portrait of different careers in this ever-changing field. The second edition has been expanded (discussions of five new careers added) and updated to reflect current trends and changes in the field.

A practical, witty guide for adult returning students The number of adults completing bachelor's degrees later in life is at an all-time high. Many universities have targeted this market with expensive, Internet-based programs. In this essential guide, Carole S. Fungaroli challenges the conventional wisdom that advocates distance learning for adult students. She argues that adults are best suited to a traditional college experience, and she insists that even those with children, jobs, and mortgages can earn a standard, four-year degree on a great college campus. As Fungaroli shows, traditional studies at excellent universities will foster a scholar mentality that leads to top grades, greater academic opportunities, and more fulfilling careers. In addition to information on program selection, application, and financial aid, the book offers advice on such issues as overcoming fears of not being "college material" and taking part in campus life. Fungaroli writes from her own unique experience as an adult returning student. She has also interviewed score of adult students at colleges and universities across the country, including the University of California at Berkeley, Smith College, the University of Wisconsin- Madison, Bryn Mawr College, the University of Michigan, and Harvard. Appendix Carole S. Fungaroli, Ph.D., earned her bachelor's degree at age thirty, while working full time. She has a doctorate in English literature from the University of Virginia and teaches at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
