Psychology (General)
This text provides up to date information at a level appropriate to undergraduate students with an interest in psychology. In their reading, the number one response I get from students is that they had no idea how broad the options in psychology are. They greatly appreciate the practical information on pay, work environment, education as it helps dispel myths and provides guidance for future decision-making. Since many students come to the material having heard that they can "do nothing" with a bachelor's degree in psychology, it is extremely helpful for them to see that this stereotype is false. My students appreciate the straightforward presentation of information and the practical suggestions in each chapter as they work through their undergraduate careers. I have had many students over the years switch or retool their specific areas of interest in psychology after reading this text.
I have used this text book since 2017. I find it informative, easy-to-read, and filled with valuable information about career opportunities within the field of psychology. Highly recommend!
This textbook continues to get great reviews from my students in the Psychology as a Profession course as it addresses realistic questions that students have about this field and what they can do in the future.
Kuther and Morgan provide a brief, yet comprehensive, overview of the career planning process both for students who plan to apply to graduate programs in psychology and those planning to seek employment after completing their bachelor's degree in psychology.
