Psychologists are in demand.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs in psychology are expected to grow 14 percent — faster than the average — from 2016 to 2026 because of a greater demand for psychological services. Psychologists provide help in schools, hospitals, social services agencies, mental health centers and from their own offices.
