Career in helping addicts (without psychology) ?

MikeyRamirez · Jun 17, 2021

Hey, So I've finally found something i am genuinely interested in and would like to forge a career in it. I consider addiction of all kinds to be a major issue the mankind is dealing presently with. I would find it meaningful to contribute my time and energy in that area.
However, a road block is I have already graduated in Biology. Most popular career in this area, for instance in a Rehab, is of psychologist /psychiatrist. Could you help me by suggesting some options of some course i can do, or maybe some jobs i simply don't know about in the related sector which I can still pursue?

Surely a post-grad in psychology would still be an option?

Or, using your biology degree become research scientist looking at effects of addiction on the body?

Do you mean without a psych degree or without using psychology? In other words are you interested in counseling at all?

Become a personal trainer. A vigorous physical activity can really change someone's life

Psychology? That would be a downgrade. Grab a PhD in neuroscience.
