Dr. Bloom?
Ever since I started my master's degree I've been thinking that I might get my PhD some day. Recently, I stumbled upon International Psychology. I have been developing an interest in multicultural psychology and bringing counseling to people who need it, but do not have access to it. If you want more information, you can go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_psychology
So, I've been learning more and more about international psychology and I discovered that there are very few schools in the US that offer it as a PhD concentration. One of the schools is The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, in Chicago (obviously) and I contacted them for information last week and they called me yesterday. Now, I am totally pumped! The school sounds amazing!! It's really everything I am looking for, the school is looking to open up centers all over the world and to couple with other universities. They also have a lot of grass roots initiatives going on in the city of Chicago. These things would really help me get hands on experience working with all kind of cultures. There are so many areas that a person can go into with this kind of a degree.
So what does this mean for the Blooms? Possibly that we will be moving to Chicago in a little over a year. Crazy! It's hard to think about leaving our neighborhood and our church community. But it would be an amazing opportunity to study at the Chicago School and go down a professional road that I really think I could enjoy and do well in. Although, Matt and I have not been doing any preventing as far as children goes and if I am going to continue my education even further, I don't know what that means for having kids. We'll probably want to hold off on the kids, at least until we get ourselves settled in Chicago or decide we're not moving.
So, the Blooms have some major decisions to make! I'll try to keep everyone posted on our progress.
