Really motivating podcast! I’m 31 and have just decided I really want to be a psychologist after, hopefully, completing a clinical psychology doctorate. I’m currently applying for a masters in an accredited course as a starting point, as my background is in English and then digital marketing!
Ahh thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment too. It’s so appreciated and I’m so pleased you found it interesting. Wishing you well. Do keep me posted!
Great interview. It's lovely to hear voices of people who have started the path later in life. For anyone watching this who is trying to work out how they could logistically do this, I would just like to recommend the Open University. I decided to do my psych undergrad when I was 25, not necessarily much older but I was living independently so needed to work alongside the course to pay bills and didn't have the relevant A levels for entry. I studied part time with the open uni for 5 years. I genuinely couldn't have done it any other way. My local uni didn't offer part time courses and the open uni didn't require me to have any qualifications to get on the course. It made higher education accessible for me. It is such a fabulous institution for people who need the flexibility and is not viewed as any less of a degree by other universities or employers.
Hi! I’m in a similar situation. Just realized I’d like to study psychology, I’m 37yo, and have been hesitant because of my age. Tom’s story is inspiring and courageous. I feel I’m lacking just that, the courage of pursuing a purposeful life ( by serving others, I have a degree in International Relations, and work in sales for a corporation and… in short, I hate it). Like Tom, something happened to me that has made me question what am doing and what my purpose in life is. I’m Italian and live in madrid, and my English isn’t bad, so I’m thinking about signing up in an English online undergrad program and a get a degree to become a therapist. I feel that’s my calling. Do you have any recommendations for online courses? (I’m looking for online course to be able to keep working, probably part -time, so be able to still support myself while I get my degree). Any other recommendation would be hugely appreciated! Thanks ! Great program, good luck to both and keep it up 👍
Hi, thanks so much for watching and so pleased you found it useful and interesting. I would definitely check out the open university courses - I think it is likely you can do them not based in the U.K. I'd say your English seems pretty good!
