And now I guess it’s back to a psychology major for me. I was looking over my ab. and personality psych notes tonight and I got…excited. I realized I still do love those things! I’ll still have to suffer through psychometric methods, of course, but maybe it will be better here. Maybe my class will be smaller than it was at Madison (that was HORRIBLE).
mmm… I’m definately thinking about a psych major now as well… we should talk about psych sometime!!

If you go for a Psych major and need help – just ask (I happen to have a PhD in Psychology) Be sure to get your Stats classes out of the way before taking psychometrics – it’ll be a hugh help in getting through the class, and have friends who are willing to be test subjects so you can practice. Soemtimes the academic counselors don’t let you in the tricks to be successful .

RYN: Yes it is possible to get a job but you have plenty of time to decide what you want to be when you grow – I’m still trying to decide and I’m old! If you want to work with people think about in what capacity – as a therapist, social worker, teacher, human resources, intervention specialist, etc… If you want to become a writer – a psych major can be helpful if you add a creative writing

or journalism minor. If you are going for a master’s your minor won’t matter too much. A philosphy minor is good if you’re going into psychology as a prefession – since psychology is a mixture of medicine & philosphy in it’s origin. I will tell you – if you want to work as a psychologist – you better plan on a Ph.D. or go for a master in social work or counseling.
