I recently graduated with a BSc in Computer Science, but over the past year I've realized I'm much more interested in psychology and becoming a therapist.

I'm based in Pune, India, and I'm trying to figure out if this career switch is realistic. From what I've read, not all universities accept non-psychology graduates for a master's, which has me a bit confused.

I have a few questions:

Has anyone here switched from a completely different field into psychology?

Which colleges in or around Pune accept students from non-psychology backgrounds?

How's the job market for therapists/counseling psychologists in India right now?

Is the pay enough to make a stable career, or is it something that takes many years to build?

I'd really appreciate hearing from people who have actually gone through this or are currently working in the field. I want honest opinions—the good, the bad, and whether you'd do it again.

Thanks in advance!

Hey

I’ve basically turned into a solo evening walker in the NIBM / Wanowrie / Gangadham area. It’s peaceful but also starting to feel like im in a low budget indie film

Soo im looking for chill, actually fun people nearby for casual hangouts food runs, evening/night walks, whatever makes no sense but ends up being fun.

Vibe check:

im not really into heavy discussions about politics so wouldn't want walks to turn into that

down for spontaneous plans

generally just funny + chill people who know how to enjoy the moment

if your group is like this or you’re also in the “why am I always outside alone” era, DM or comment :)
