For years, many working individuals in the United States have counted on Social Security as their primary retirement income. With the deductions from every paycheck to fund this future benefit, Americans looked forward to a comfortable retirement based on the assumption that these funds were being invested wisely. Is this a factual assumption, or is it another myth of the U.S. social welfare system?
Relying on Social Security as a sole means of support in retirement is uncommon. As society’s work habits and life expectancies change, Social Security has come to mean different things to different people. For those who are unable to save and/or invest on their own, it functions like a forced retirement program that provides a financial safety net for the future. For those who become unable to work, social security often is viewed by others as a public assistance program. For others who are financially secure and prepared for retirement, it is an entitlement program where individuals draw Social Security at retirement in an effort to recoup what they paid into the program by deductions from their wages. How might these perceptions of Social Security relate to the perceptions of public assistance programs that were discussed in last week’s resources?
For this Discussion, review this week’s resources. Then, consider how Social Security is different from public assistance programs. Finally, think about how these differences are important in terms of the general perception of Social Security benefits.
Post an explanation of how Social Security is different from public assistance programs. Then, explain how these differences are important, in terms of the general perception of Social Security benefits.

My plans include earning my master’s degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology. Within the state of Pennsylvania, to obtain a degree in I/O Psychologist, one does not require a license, certificate, or any other requirements. To determine that an I/O in Pennsylvania does not require a certificate, license or any other requirements, I looked on the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology and looked up licensing for my state.
An I/O can be governed by a professional organization or can have no organization governing them. This all depends on where I choose to work, for example, I can freelance which means I am not with a particular organization and I am called in to help a company as my own person or I can join other I/O psychologist to help out an organization (Sternberg, 2017). If I were to get hired by a company then I work within the company to help with the employee problems, financial problems, etc.
The professionals and individuals that would best help in my professional network would be individuals who are I/O psychologist and people working within Human Resources. I would connect with people from Human Resources because if I do not go into consulting, I can work within human Resource as a manager or a person hiring new employees. Overall, it is always best to network with many people because a person may not be in my field but they may know others who are in my field and set me up with the right connections.
Reading the Sternberg text was really helpful because it went into depth about the advantages, disadvantages, a typical day-to-day summary, and many more aspects of an I/O psychologist. Looking on the websites also helped because I found out that I do not need to be licensed to become an I/O psychology and the resource guide helped me better understand the level of education I will be receiving, what I will get out of the overall courses, the degree, and career outcomes of an I/O psychologist.
I have no questions about the requirements in my career. I feel my interview, the Sternberg text, and research that I did helped me better understand what it takes to become an I/O psychologist. I know there may be questions that I will have in the future, but as of right now, I feel confident about my knowledge on my career requirements.
