Abstract: We might assume psychologists prioritise helping others and understanding others in theirs work and personal life. Can we be sure there is a real trend in this? The current qualitative study examined psychotherapists, counsellors and psychology majors using their degree in their work, in different stages of their career. We recorded interviews in order to understand if there is a pattern in their speach about values, career choices, and how they navigate difficult tasks in their work. We also interviewed psychology majors with other career choices. The results are confirming a care for others, not for all the participants, but a general responsibility for their career choices and work with people.
