If you are thinking of going to graduate school in order to be a research psychologist it will also be helpful to think of a general specialty in psychology as well as specific and unique lines of work. This may mean doing work on something that is of particular interest to business or government or working with a specific population of people. Future psychologists will have to be much smarter about directing their careers rather than just accidently falling into areas like so many of us in the past. Research on the brain and behavior is exploding now with the advent of technologies like magnetic resonance imaging. There will continue to be good jobs for psychologists involved in human factors research as well as cognitive science areas that intersect with the computer and information technology industries.
