The decision to get educated in psychology take the people in the different ages and for various reasons. It happens that quite mature and accomplished people understand the psychology – it is their vocation, and consciously They choose their curriculum. On the other hand, quite often psychological education chosen in the hope of 'understanding of themselves', to solve their own problems and no intention to work in their specialty.
