The
young people start thinking about the popular professions
of the future during the high school days and when they come to the
University stage they live the excitement of having attained their
objectives, wishes to the extent that the conditions have permitted them. On
the other hand, it is not a surprise when a young man who wants to be a
doctor has to start
the economy education as a result of the evaluation method as well
as someone who is interested in fine arts finding himself
in the veterinary college. Choosing
a profession compatible with one’s aptitude needs extra care.
There is a big difference between the
qualities which are necessary for managing and having a specific
career. Today,
most often, we meet people who are working in areas other
than their actual
professions... We
do not find it strange when we see a football player who has ended up with
singing on the stage, or an
engineer who has become a columnist in a newspaper... Due
to the economic conditions, there are a number of people who are working
in a second job... Recently,
the most popular professions according to the supply and demand are placed
among the most interesting subjects in the newspapers and magazines... I
would like to speak about two of these
with a rising trend and which
have a high demand for the time being. To
be a geologist, And
to be a psychologist... The
former is the engineering of geology, which had a considerable low demand
until now. It is very
interesting that this profession has such a rising popularity following
the earthquakes that we have lived. As
a matter of fact , according to the statistics the geologists in our
country, who are around ten thousand in number, have been working in
different subjects other than their own profession.
We
are saying this for the interest of those who have chosen the branch of
geology... The
second is not within the area of medicine, but a quality
which is attained after getting
specialised on this subject... A
class different than the doctors and the psychiatrists... The
activity for making the psychological structure more stronger... It
functions in every event that
we can think of, pertaining
to the individuals or societies.
It is important to note that its functions are not limited only with the
acts of nature which influence our lives in a negative way in a certain
direction. The
economic problems, the increase in the prices, the traffic, the actions of
the illegal gangs, the feeling of insecurity created by the social
and political scandals, going insane, the satanists, the acts of suicide
and the problems faced in the family life are all among the things dealt
by psychology.... However,
a question comes to the minds ; How
those specialised people from whom we are asking for help are going
to transfer the individual from the psychologiacl chaos that he is in to
the dimension full of peace? How
and through which method could they, themselves have caught the happiness
so that they can influence their patients and make them have a healthy and
a happy life? While
talking on this subject, I suggest you to see the film ‘’Analyze
This’’ in which
Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal are playing marvellously. The
support of a pyschologist may in the first place have positive effects.
However, as time goes on it would be seen that it is not sufficient to
give the individual the comfort that he has been seeking. In
the end, the cure would have to be taken
to the area of psychiatry, because of the medicines the brain will almost
come to point of stopping, and some positive results(!) would be obtained
in this manner.... It
is certain that through the psychological treatment positive results can
be obtained only by the auto-suggestions
that the individual would be making to himself in order to get rid of the disorder in his mind. Friedrich
Nietzshce at the beginning of his book Ecce Homo says: -A
doctor who had been curing me for long time had said
in the end ‘’No! There
is nothing wrong with your nerves, it is me who is nervous!...’’ How
can a specialist who is far from helping himself
would be helping others?!.. All
of you have this profession naturally, as an inborn talent.. Hoping
to meet you next week.... Ahmet
