Careers in Psychology : What Courses Are Needed to Become a Psychologist?

[whaleysister27]

I'm a junior in high school and I want to become a psychologist but I have a question, Does one need to major in chemistry to become a psychologist?

will being dyslexic make it really hard to become a psychologist ?

@09rosepunk, no it won't. If it's your passion, it won't be hard at all. A lot of psychologists have a learning disability :)

@CertainAsTheSun thank you i think il go for it you were a lot of help thank you

And no one will ever tell you that you're not allowed to study psychology or be a psychologist just because of a learning disability. It might even make you more relatable to the people you help.
