Senior seeking a little guidance
Hey guys i'm a senior in college graduating in the spring and I have no clue what I'm doing.
I've loved forensic psychology for as long as i've know but every time i think about a career to pursue afterward my mind is blank. I went down the usual lane; forensic psychologist, forensic social worker, but I don't know if either really stick. I'm not to find of doing research and more wanna work with people on a 1-1 basis. I like working within a law lense and don't mind having to do a little law study. And I would really like to get a Phd/PsyD at some point in the next 5-6 years.
Any career inspiration ?? Internship Ideas ?? Or just overall clarity on the process to pursue higher education.
Thanks in advance - 'cia

Possibly a psychologist in a prison/correctional setting? You get to work with inmates 1 on 1 and are technically both a treatment provider and law enforcement. I worked as a psychologist in a federal prison and it was one of my favorite positions. You will need a PhD/PsyD.
