The first is colleges and universities, which is the main destination for psychology graduate students after graduation. In recent years, colleges and universities have paid more and more attention to students' mental health, and have set up public courses in psychology, with master of psychology as the teacher of public courses in psychology. However, with the increase of doctoral graduates and the continuous expansion of graduate students, it will become more and more difficult to engage in this profession. Psychological counseling centers in colleges and universities also provide employment opportunities for masters of psychology. The salary of university work varies according to the specific position and region.
Second, civil servants. It is generally the public security system that recruits psychology graduate students as civil servants: public security bureau, reeducation-through-labor center, prison, border checkpoint, etc. Are all possible places. Some units have strict physical requirements for employees, while others need physical fitness tests. However, you should be clear about the admission ratio of civil servants, plus the shady civil service examination. It doesn't matter, so don't consider it.
Third, enterprises. Psychology graduate students go to enterprises that focus on headhunting (talent agency), enterprise consulting and human resource management. Postgraduates in psychology are different from students majoring in human resource management. Students majoring in psychology advocate humanized management, which is complementary to students majoring in human resource management. But because people don't know much about psychology, students in psychology department are not as competitive as those in human resource management. Graduate students of psychology department can also do market research, but the number is relatively small, generally more than undergraduate students, and the salary, alas ... you dream.
Fourth, primary and secondary schools. Undergraduate students are generally recruited, and the psychological counseling department is mainly used as a "vase" to cope with the inspection of the education department, so the future is not optimistic and the income is low, so graduate students are generally disdainful, unless they can't find a job, they are generally not considered.
Fifth, psychological counseling workers. Judging from the current situation in China, the domestic industry simply engaged in psychological counseling may not be able to maintain a certain standard of living, and it needs to develop if it wants to have the wages of foreign counterparts.
Sixth, hospitals and clinics. Students who study clinical psychology and medical psychology can go to hospitals or psychological clinics to engage in psychological counseling and treatment. However, in view of the current demand for psychologists in China and the need for a medical license to go to a hospital, it is more difficult.
If you still want to take the exam after reading this, I'll tell you something about the school. Judging from your appearance, you should be more concerned about regional issues. Then let me talk about schools of psychology in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai:
Jiangsu Province-1, in terms of psychological strength, Jiangsu is definitely the strongest in Nanjing Normal University, and it is also difficult to test; 2. Nanjing University's psychology is average, but its reputation is relatively large, it is not easy to test, and its enrollment is relatively small; 3. The following are Southeast University and Hohai University, both of which are master of psychology programs in universities of science and engineering. It's hard to say exactly how. Suzhou University is better than Nanjing. The psychology of Suzhou University has developed rapidly in recent years, but it is a school that does not take the unified examination. This should be noted; 5. The other is Yangzhou University, which is relatively easy to test; 6. Finally, Xuzhou Normal University in northern Jiangsu is also a school that does not take the unified examination. If you take the exam, it is still better, as long as you reach the national line; 7. There is Nanjing Institute of Political Science, which enrolls graduate students in military psychology.
Shanghai-1, East China Normal University, not to mention the top psychological colleges, it is basically hopeless to get less than 380; 2. Shanghai Jiaotong University, with a good reputation, gets high marks every year, but its psychological strength is really ...; 3, Shanghai Normal University, I am a graduate student of Shanghai Normal University. Although the school is not well-known, the psychological strength of Shanghai Normal University is still very strong. Psychologists of the older generation, such as Li Boshen, Yan and Fu Anqiu, are all professors of Shanghai Normal University. Shanghai Normal University will score higher in the initial test, but it is not difficult to re-test; 4. The research field of Shanghai Institute of Physical Education is sports psychology; 5. The research of the Second Military Medical University is biased towards the medical direction; It should be noted that Fudan University has not recruited psychology graduate students for several years in a row, so you should pay attention when applying to the school. 7. In addition, Shanghai Branch of Nanjing Institute of Political Science also recruits graduate students in military psychology.
Zhejiang province-1, the leader of Zhejiang psychology is of course Zhejiang university, with high scores and partial science; 2. Hangzhou Normal University is relatively easy to test, but its strength is average; 3. There is also Zhejiang Sci-Tech University in Hangzhou to recruit psychology graduate students, which is not too difficult. There is Zhejiang Normal University outside Hangzhou. In Jinhua, the difficulty is equivalent to that of Zhejiang Institute of Technology. Ningbo University also has a master's degree in psychology, but I don't know much about this school.
ps:
Psychology postgraduate entrance examination is aimed at those who are not very good at math! (personal feeling), biased!
It's good that you are interested, but you may not be able to learn well, but you must work hard and work hard!
Psychology postgraduate entrance examination is basically a national unified examination, and the topic of comprehensive examination papers for psychology majors is divided into modules. The first module accounts for 100, which is general psychological knowledge; The second module is developmental psychology and educational psychology, with a score of about 70; The third module is psychological statistics and measurement, with 70 points; Experimental psychology is the last module, with 60 points. Just look at a real question from previous years. This is basically necessary, and I tell you that general psychology accounts for 100, which is relatively simple. You need to read it about 4 times when preparing for the exam, so that you can get full marks. In this case, it is fair and reasonable. As long as you have the strength, you can be admitted to your own university! To avoid the injustice caused by the independent proposition of some good schools, you can ask your school sister.

The above are reference books. You can find the electronic version online, but it's not the latest version. If you can, look at the electronic version first and see if you can understand it. If you can, prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination! However, some of them use mathematical statistics, but it is not difficult. Some people say it's difficult!
If you are not sure, you can sign up for a class or something!
Finally, I wish you success!
