I personally think this would be an interesting career. It has a very bright outlook for the coming years, which is definitely a good thing in terms of money. It has a lot of training and requirements though, so I am not sure if I would want to pursue this or not. 1. Psychologist 2.

A psychologist would be related to Anna Garcias case because Annas family might need counseling or therapy to deal with her death. I personally think this career is interesting, yet it is not a field I would want to go into. It is cool that psychologists can help people with their issues,
