  • 57 days: helping people?

    My carreer goal changes in the past years:
    Law -> Psychology -> Journalism -> Pre-Med (for two days!) -> Undeclared -> Psychology

    Double occurance = my new passion. You see, I want to help people. I've been unsure for the past few months if working for a magazine is what I wanted. Well, as of now, it isn't. I went back and forth between other majors not listed, along with pre-med: art, communication disorders, and communication. I hadn't put psyc back in, but here's why it's my top choice. I've always wanted to study/be/do..

    1. Humanities. I'm not sure what "humanities" entirely entails, but I've always wanted something that would require analysis, deep thinking, and discussion.

    2. Science. PSYC 412 - Physiological Psychology. That should be enough science for me, along with that Biology course. Stats with Computer Applications and Lab should also be interesting.

    3. Earn a doctorate. If I go to Rosemead School of Psychology, [if I understood what I read correctly] after 2 years you earn a Masters, but you must continue with two more years of school, then a year of internship to earn a Psy.D. or Ph.D. Bonus: Theology Minor.

    3. Work with others. I could join a firm.

    4. Run own business. After many years in a firm, hello private practice.

    5. Teach at a university. Yeah! Hopefully. I always wanted to be a cool teacher, and, you know, help people succeed in their academic journey (again hopefully).

    6. Help people with their problems. I love listening to others tell me what's going on in their life, and I love being able to help them. Going to work to help people every day sounds so appealing. I know how much I appreciated my therapist, and I can only pray I'm that much of help to someone else.


    Academic Advising is going to be sick of me: to Undeclared to Psychology in one week. Oh well.

    if you want to be sure of what you really want for now, take your time off everything and start praying, start praising and start asking.

    i always pray that if there is no purpose of God for me to be working where i am now, then let there be peace for me to move out and look for a new one, where it is all God's purpose.

    Colleges are used to freshmen changing their majors a lot... your first year is a good time to decide for sure what you want - head for the psychology, but don't feel locked in if you change your mind again - it's normal! :)
