Question

Does a psychologist seem like a good career or are there better things to do?

Answer 1

If it's something you are passionate about then yes, but if you are fishing around looking at different options, definitely look at them all before making a decision.

Answer 2

That's what I'm going into, or at least what I'd like to go into.  Keep in mind that there are a lot of different fields in Psychology.  For example, I'm thinking of either teaching it for college or specializing in criminal psych.  As often as people consider it a "cop-out" major, I think it's really beneficial later on in life.
