There are extreme differences between jobs held by college graduates and non-college graduates. Right now I am in the college process, so I hold down two less-than-desirable jobs. I am studying to become a school psychologist, but my current jobs have no relation to that field. At one job I am the clerk of a small video store (think Kevin Smith's Clerks). I sit there by myself, watching television for between five and six hours. Every once in a while I have to get up and rent a movie to a customer. My other job consists of me selling car parts. I work at the auto parts store more often. I have to have a working knowledge of cars, and I have to deal with a lot more customers. I do not see being a school psychologist very similar to either jobs aside from often having to give my opinion on either movies, or the best car parts. It is not the same type of opinion though.
             As a school psychologist I hope to be helping children cope with school, life, and major problems and disturbances that they may have to deal with at home. For me, cars and movies are just hobbies. I may have a strong interest in both, but neither are what I want to do with my life. Psychology, on the other hand, is a life calling. The more I learn, the more I am intrigued. While learning about cars sparks a similar interest, the possibilities of the human mind are endless and cannot ever be fully understood. The pay is very different as well. I work on hourly wages at both jobs (plus commission at the auto parts store if I sell their special tire warranty). Once I become a psychologist and get settled in a school, I will probably be making a yearly salary. Psychology will require a lot of time, energy, heart, and emotion. My other two jobs require simply for me to show up and be in good working condition.
             Summing up, the differences are great and the similarities are barely there between being a psychologist and a clerk or pa
