I really like how organized your blog is, and I think that a major in psychology is awesome! Also, I had no idea that psychology was something that played such a big role in criminal investigations or that you could go down that career path with a psychology major! Good job on your blog, and good luck!
ReplyDeleteIt is really interesting to see that a psychology major can go into crime fields in addition to the expected clinical positions. I'm sure you will have a wide variety of options and you may be able to narrow down what kind of psychology later to better prepare yourself for a more specific field.
ReplyDeleteWow! A psychiatrist makes a lot of money! Great plan for the future. Does your internship involve psychology?
ReplyDeleteI have the same major in mind and criminal investigation is actually something that I am interested in as well. If Psychiatrist is interesting to you, I am sure that there are a lot of things that you can do form there.
