I am also going to major in Psychology, @benny. I believe that the hardest thing about majoring in this field is the extensive amount of work and education. To do any practice with patients, they recommend a doctoral degree. I may go into Neuropsychology (which requires this), although you could go down a different path and use your psychology degree (bachelor's or master's) and go into another field of your choice. For example, I may only get a Master's degree in Psychology, but I could use that degree and go into a Sports Management career. I would know the inner mind of an athlete! Something like that could go nicely for you. I am more than happy to help you decide if you should go into psychology!

Yeah, I plan to go into forensic psychology.

@Donovan_Little034 years ago

Ooh, I thought about that one for the longest time! Have you taken any Forensic Science courses at your school?

[🎤 AUTHOR]@benny4 years ago

No, But I am going to a 2-year vocational school for Biotechnology and we will be learning some forensic science. Not it's, not a course.

@Donovan_Little034 years ago

The main thing I'm concerned about is the 5-8 years in school. That's basically another Kindergarten through Junior High School education. I've been through it once already, and I don't want to waste my time. Music is my backup plan (I'm auditioning for American Idol in fall 2022) so we'll see how that plays out!

What kind of job?

@ROSELM4 years ago

It is just difficult in general to find a job with a Psychology major if you don't have at least a masters.
