Review the information on career paths for psychologists and counselors from the readings and do some of your own research using credible sources. Drawing upon the information you collected and analyzed in previous assignments and research, write a paper that outlines the career path that you think is most suitable for you at this point in your educational experience.  

Be as specific as possible and include each of the following items in your paper:

• Identify a career path and explain why it is a suitable choice.  
• Identify the skills, experiences, and educational requirements for this path.
• Identify your strengths and weaknesses and explain how they relate to your chosen path.
• Describe the skills, preparation, and experiences that have already been completed by you.
• Describe what skills, preparation, and experiences you still need to acquire (for example, research experience, volunteer work, developing a professional network, etc.).
• Outline a clear plan (including a timeline) for meeting these goals and gaining those skills and experiences. Make sure to do outside research to discuss specifically where you can gain those skills and experiences, how much it will cost, and how you plan to prioritize.
• Select and describe at least one professional organization that would be appropriate to join in your chosen career path and why it is the most appropriate. Make sure that you identify the specific resources and standards it would provide you as a professional.
