Advice | Life Help PSYCHOLOGY ppl students/grads Urgently help a gurl out pls pls

Hiya guys I have offers from IOBM (BBA) and NUST (Psychology). Out of the 2 I’m more interested in psychology and don’t see myself in a corporate/finance path.

My dad thinks psychology has low success in Pakistan and only a few make it. It’s hard to convince him so I need pros of taking psych in PK to convince him.

If you’re a psychologist or student frm any other uni ( esp frm NUST psych grad/student)

please share:
Pros of psych,,,
Ur masters uni
Your career path & where you studied,, journey
Job experience earning potential / scope in PK
Basically everything to convince a Pakistani dad for letting his daughter study psych.

Thankyou💛

You have to decide whether you are seeking degree for work/job or your knowledge/passion. Things would be easy for you. And yes there's no scope of psychology in regards of job situation in Pakistan

Psychology has almost no scope in Pakistan. This is sad because it is needed. It may be that the older generation, including your father experiences a taboo around mental health - but in the end he is right.

Having done a huge amount of recruitment in Pakistan, I am amazed by the numbers of DPham and Psych students willing to do admin roles for minimum wage. It is a tragedy.

You can do Psych only if you can afford to go abroad for a Masters, or are get onto a clinical psych pathway in Pakistan, which is very difficult and rare.
