Please read the capstone assignment document which has everything detailed, you should make two documents one describing the career as a clinical psychologist and the other as a nutritional psychologi

For this final Capstone Assignment, you need to create two Career Exploration Plans. You have already done some of the work for these plans in the assignments you have completed for this course. The goals of this final assignment are to further explore two careers you are interested in pursuing and to identify resources and opportunities that will help prepare you for those careers.

To complete this assignment, pick two of the career paths of interest that you have identified. For each one, you will answer the following questions. Note that you will do this process twice, once for each of the careers you chose to explore. You will then submit each file (Word or PDF) on Blackboard to the Capstone Plan 1 and Capstone Plan 2 links. As with other assignments, be sure to write your responses in complete sentences and address all questions in the assignment in a thoughtful and reflective manner. These Plans will be a useful resource for you as you navigate your college experience. They will also help to prepare you for advising appointments. Be sure to save the files that you submit for this course so that you can print your plans and take them with you when you meet with your advisor!

1. From Lesson A: How will you use the College Skills you learned about to make sure you stay on track in order to be prepared for this career when you graduate? Be sure to address all four areas from Module A (running DPR, finding classes, advising appointments, Rock Chalk Central) and be specific about how you will utilize these resources specific to your career choice. For example, are there specific classes you can find in the online course list that would be important for you to take to learn more about/for this career? Are there student clubs or organizations related to this career in which you could get involved? Detail how you will use these resources and give specific examples that relate to the career you choose for each plan.

1. From Lesson B: Which faculty members in the KU Psychology Department overlap with the career path you chose? Which ones might be good resources for you as you try to learn more about the area of psychology you are most interested in? What psychology degree, major, and/or minor best fit this career path? Is a Psychology major still the right fit for you? Why or why not? Are there other programs at KU outside of the Psychology Department that might be useful for you to investigate? Explain.

1. From Lesson C: Consider the information you’ve uncovered about your career of interest. Create two lists, one list with positive aspects of this career choice and one list with negative aspects of this career choice. Be specific and explain why each list item is either positive or negative in your view. Some things to consider might be:

   • Time/education required to pursue this career

   • Potential salary that you can earn

   • Amount of debt/expense that you might incur

   • Having to relocate in order to pursue this career or to undergo training

   • Options for completing training/advanced degree via online education

   • Competitiveness and/or availability of the programs for training in this career

   • Availability of jobs in this career

   • Work/life balance in this career; family planning considerations

   • Stressfulness of this career

   • People you know who might serve as a resource or connection for you in this career

   • Flexibility in or variety of different job opportunities with this career training

Reflect on your two lists of positive and negative attributes. Do the positives outweigh or counterbalance the negatives? Explain why or why not.

1. From Lesson D: For each area of Opportunities (Psych Dept, KU, Summer, Community), identify at least 2 options from each that apply to your career path. During which year of school (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior) should you get involved with each one in order to maximize your chances of success? Outline your plan for pursuing these opportunities over your four years at KU. Feel free to include other opportunities that might not be included in this course and explain how those might be useful to your career choice.
