Psychology degree seems tougher then law? |
I am trying to decide on what to major in and I've come to the conclusion time and time again, psychology. However I'm equally interested in business and law. I dont want to pick a major now to come to realize 4 years down the road that I've made the wrong choice. I've always thought that law was out of my league, being asian and a female. I honestly dont think too many people are going to come to me for help, despite my credentials. But as I expolre psychology more, it seems as though its equally tough if not harder to get a PHD in Psyc. And everyone knows that there is vertually no job prospect for someone with just a BA in that field. Sigh please share you opinions thank you, should I just pursue something else?\ If you have just started your undergraduate degree, take psychology and legal issues courses to help you determine which route is best for you. If possible, wait until the end of your sophomore year to declare your major. Whatever career path you chose, you will deal with some issues regarding your ethnicity and your gender. At times it won't be a problem but occasionally you will run into a stumbling block. There is no need to anticipate these types of obstacles ahead of time. However, the amount of education required for each degree (which is the same for everyone) and the potential career opportunities (which will likely be the same for you as someone of another ethnicity and gender) is important to consider when making your decision. You would need a PhD in Psychology. There aren't many job opportunities for a person with an undergraduate or master's degree in Psychology. I have a friend who got her undergraduate degree in Psychology. She then had to weigh her options for continuing education. She took some business courses and liked them so instead of working towards a PhD in Psychology she got an MBA. It isn't uncommon to have an impression about lawyers from watching TV! In reality, your law career will be spent doing a lot of research and having very little client interaction (at least for the first five - seven years). If that isn't for you, psychology is the way to go. |
