Psychology is a stream of study suited for those fascinated by human behavior and nurtures a curiosity on how the mind works. A course in psychology opens up vast career opportunities other than being a practitioner. Psychology is an ideal academic background for many other careers like HR or Civil Service. When you study psychology at the higher secondary level it gives you an edge while pursuing higher studies.
