I think there are always going to be certain classes for our particular major that people won't like. I don't particularly care for my psych of human relations class right now. Imagine sitting in a class for 3 hours each week basically being taught how to communicate better.

I'm almost 3 years into it and I'm just not so sure anymore. But, whatever. I'm thinking of declaring a public relations minor, just so I have somethijng to fall back on in case I really dont want to go into it after I graduate.

I just graduated...one suggestion, think about what you want to do with a psych degree BEFORE you graduate...

Mr. Ryan 04/08/09 04:40 PM

I'm a psych major, hoping to attend grad/doctoral school. I'm in the last leg of my Neurobiology class. Fuck, I've never studied so much for a course in my life.

Mr. Ryan 04/27/09 08:47 AM

Signed up for classes in the summer term.

Cognitive Psych, Social Psych, and Psych of Racial Prejudice.

Mmmmm.

I'm thinking about double majoring, just as a backup plan if I can't get into grad school(for psych) right away. A bachelors degree is almost worthless in the field.

I'm a psych major. I have my Master's in Counseling Psychology. I definitely think jobs in this field right out of college are underpaid. Hopefully in 5 years I can enjoy helping people AND get paid a decent amount for it in a private practice. Don't get me wrong I am not in it completely for the money but when your friend who dropped out of college gets paid $20,000 more per year than you and he only manages a car wash and convenience store it makes one a little bitter:)
