PSYC 103 Careers and Pathways in Psychology
I just declared psychology as my major. What can I do with it? Do I need to go to graduate school to be a psychologist? I'm a psychology major but I'm not sure what I want to do. Can you make money in psychology? I like listening to people's problems and I'm a good listener, so psychology is the obvious choice for me, right? I don't like listening to people's problems; is psychology the wrong choice for me? Students often end up in psychology because they aren't sure what they want to do, so this seems like as good a place as any to spend some time (beats a microeconomics class, right?). Or, they think they know exactly what they want to do based on what they think psychology is (people lying on your furniture and telling you their problems, right?). This class aims to confirm and dispel these and other ideas while broadening your view of psychology and the myriad of career options open to psychology majors. Lecture.
