For me, this job is fascinating because it can be useful in many sectors and combines two very interesting and helpful subjects in our society: psychology and neurology.</p> <br/> <i><h2>What is it like to be a neuropsychologist?</h2></i> <p> It can demand a lot of research and perseverance with clients by example, because Neuropsychologists either help people with disorders, teach others about psychology and Neuropsychology or do research to find a solution to a problem or to further our scientific knowledge. Neuropsychologists have a lot of social interactions when it comes to colleagues and clients. They also use their great interpretation skills, observational skills and show a lot of empathy on a daily basis during work.</p> <br/> <i><h2>What do neuropsychologists do?</h2></i> <p> Neuropsychologists do three different types of work: research, teaching, and helping. Most neuropsychologists only work in one or two sectors of the three that were named above. When Neuropsychologists help clients, they help them by giving them therapy, counseling them. By helping, it's to help the clients manage their illnesses and disorders. The ones who work in this field can also conduct research at the same time. Neuropsychologists conduct research regarding these illnesses and disorders by different types of research methods, with some being experimental (observation) and some being non-experimental (case study). The researchers aim at the goals of psychology, being to describe, explain, predict and change. Neuropsychologists who teach can work in schools by example, giving Psychology and Neuropsychology courses, they, too, can do research at the same time (ex: university teachers)</p> <br/> <i><h2>What do neuropsychologists do on a typical day?</h2></i> <p> Cognitive neuropsychologists do research while clinical neuropsychologists meet clients and conduct examinations and therapies.</p> <br/> <i><h2>Where do neuropsychologists work?</h2></i> <p> They can work in hospitals, schools, rehabilitation centers, universities or even in government agencies.</p> <br/> <i><h2>How can I become a neuropsychologist?</h2></i> <p> First, you'll need to complete a DCS (or a DEC in French) with at least one class of biology and statistics. Then, you'll need to complete a master's in Psychology and then a doctorate in Psychology in university. Finally, all you have to do is register with the OPQ ("ordre des psychologues du Quebec)</p> <br/> <i><h2>How much money do neuropsychologists make?</h2></i> <p> In Quebec, the average Neuropsychologist makes around $91 000/ year.</p> <br/> <i><h2>What kinds of additional training do neuropsychologists need?</h2></i> <p> Neuropsychologists need a specialized doctorate to be able to work in most sectors.</p> <br/> <i><h2>What are the dangers of being a neuropsychologist?</h2></i> <p> The dangers are majorly mental due to the fact that, if you're a clinical neuropsychologist, you'll have to deal with conditions like epilepsy, brain cancer and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease. These situations may affect the Neuropsychologists because it can be very emotionally demanding. This job could lead some people to depression if the fact that this danger exists is not considered.</p> <br/> <i><h2>What are the chances that neuropsychologists will be replaced by robots soon?</h2></i> <p> This job is not likely going to be replaced by robots for now because it requires human characteristics, like empathy by example. The job also needs clinical creativity for researchers in Neuropsychology. For now, robots will probably be used as tools, not substitutes.</p> <br/> <i><h2>What age do neuropsychologists retire at?</h2></i> <p> The average retirement ages of Neuropsychologists in Canada is 66 years old.</p> <br/> <i><h2>Conclusion</h2></i> <p> Right now, I am on my way to get my DCS. My goal is to go to university next year and complete a master's in psychology and a doctorate in Psychology if nothing goes wrong. I have about 9 years before completing the last step, which is to register to the OPQ (ordre des psychologues du Quebec).</p> <br/> </div> <div class="bodyrow"> <h2>More by this author</h2><div
