Question: Respected Sir,
I'm a Psychology graduate.I am considering doing masters in Org. Psychololgy from DU.I have vague ideas about the career prospects in the field am not very clear. I would like to know exactly what credibility this profession/course enjoys, what scope it has and what kind of functions can i perform after this course.

I am quite confused.Your guidance would be highly appreciated. Hope to get a prompt answer as i have to decide and prepare myself accordingly for the coming session.

Thank You,
Ashima

Answer: Dear Ashima,
It really depends on what kind of career you have in mind eventually.If you want to pursue essentially a counselling or pure psychology based career option then this course will be quite useful.However, if you would rather be interested in pursuing a more broadbased career in the field of human resources then you will be better off going for the masters course in HRD/ OD or indeed the MBA programme in HR where your background will be fairly useful.So, please decide accordingly.

Best of luck

Your counsel.
