Mike speaks with Amanda Lambros, relationship counselor and bestselling author, about psychology becoming the top career choice for female school leavers.

With Australia facing a severe shortage of mental health services, a new generation of students is turning to psychology to help fill the gap they’ve experienced throughout their lives.

Recent data from Year13, an organisation that helps students explore career paths, reveals that psychology was the most popular profession among high school students in 2024.

In a survey of over 45,000 students, psychology topped the list for females, while architect and mechanical engineer followed as overall career preferences. 

Among male students, psychology ranked 17th.
