Queue psychology


Nowadays, when people are always in a hurry, queue is a very common event. You can see this phenomena everywhere: in shops, hospitals , banks , roads and so on. The most embarrassing thing of queues is empty time, when you have to stand and don’t have what to do. There are some ways how to make standing on line not so boring. Firstly, places, where are a lot of queues, could play usually music, than customers don’t think, that they are loosing time. Also, there could be free newspapers or magazines for clients. Furthermore, there are also could be ability to watch television. So these ways will help to attract customer’s attention, that they will not notice wasting time. Secondly, such places should make something, that clients feel comfortable. They should make enough seats that people don’t have to stand. What is more, there shouldn’t be cold or hot, where people are standing on line.

My profession is psychology

It is very important moment, when students finish school and have to choose what they want to study. It was not very easy decision for me. I have two variants, what I want to study and one of them was psychology. So now I am student of psychology. I would like to tell, why I choose this profession.
First of all, I think it is very important that psychologits can use their knowledges in many areas: they can work in companies and help to make their work more productive; they can help for trials to decide which people could be witnesses; also psychologists help for people to solve their individual problems.
What is more, in my opinion, it is very important to know yourself and help to do it for others, because it helps to make our life quality better. There are many situations , when people miss very important things in their life, that disturb them to be happy. Also many people felt a lot of crisis, that can be overcomed with psychologists help.
To sum up, I think that this profession are very widely and when I finish university I have a big variety what to work.
