Shadow Project
by Evan Allen
What Careers Did I Choose?
● Clinical and Counseling Therapists - I have always been interested in
psychology and therapy. Despite knowing a bit about it, I wanted to know
more about what happens behind the scenes.
● Political Scientist - I have always had an interest in diplomacy and
international affairs. I think caring about politics and relations between
nations is incredibly important.
● Clothing Designer - I wanted to shadow a career that explored my more
creative and artistic side. I think menswear has became rather bland and
could use more uniqueness.
Clinical and Counseling Psychologists
● These types of psychologists help people with personal problems,
diagnose and treat mental illness
● School psychologists, alongside needing a PhD or a PsyD, require an
educational specialists degree to work in a school environment.

● How many years does it take to become a psychologist?
● I think the next step would be interviewing someone in the field of clinical
psychology.

How Do These Careers Fit?
● Psychologists - This career requires a pretty expensive education and
academic career, but has overall financial stability over a longer period of
time.
● Political Scientist - This career pays extremely well, but has a very small
job market. It is growing, but the majority don’t get into those
governmental positions.
● Clothing Designer - This market has a potential for financial growth and
requires less schooling, but does not have high starting salary.
