Answer 3

Teaching is the job for you.

There is in fact a specific field called Child Pysch.  Now realize that a psychologist and a psychiatrist are different.  A psychologist could be anything from a teacher to a brain surgeon.  A psychiatrist is what you would call a shrink.  You should definitely have a Social Science major.  This field includes Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science, and several others.  I personally think you would really enjoy sociology.  You should research all this and make an informed decision.  I'm mainly just trying to give you some fields/terms that will hopefully lead you to something you're interested in.

Answer 4

Teaching pre-school, kindergarten, primary grades -- those pop into my mind right away since I was a teacher (in high school.   And, yes, you could be a child psychologist.  Whatever college you select will tell you what courses to take.  I do remember taking Child Psychology and Adolescent Psychology.
