I'm back with another video on psychology careers! Here I speak about the basic route to get an Assistant Psychologist (AP) job, tailored to those who are just starting out. But for the most part, I'm providing consolations, exposing some tea around my own concerns around these jobs and potential reasons why they can be incredibly difficult to get.

I started this YouTube channel simply because there just isn't enough YouTube content around psychology, making it seem like a mysterious/inaccurately highbrow career to be in. I am a YouTube fiend so finally bit the bullet to try to de-mystify the process and engage more people into psychology and mental health myself.
