“Myriad psychology students wonder: Is a psychology major right for me? Might it lead to a rewarding career? If so, how do I get there? Happily, psychology master teacher Jennifer Zwolinski, drawing from her career spent exploring these questions, is a sage on the page. With her warm, mentoring spirit, she offers pertinent information, debunks myths, and presents activities and questions that assist each reader in personalizing their own answers. Whether for a course on psychology careers or for individual career planning, The Psychology Career Playbook is a much-needed and brilliantly executed guide.”

This book not only provides information about a wide range of work and graduate education possibilities, but also offers guidance for decision making. Through a series of thought-provoking questions and student-oriented activities, Zwolinski encourages students to consider how their values and interests mesh with different career paths.”

“An approachable, practical introduction to the possibilities a psychology degree can offer. I particularly recommend this book for first-year psychology students who are beginning to explore the field and consider where a psychology degree might take them. By encouraging students to think about their interests, strengths, and professional goals early in their undergraduate experience, this book provides an excellent foundation for meaningful career exploration.”
