What the hell am I going to do with a psychology degree?
Sometimes I frustrate myself beyond the human limit.
Trying to figure out what to take for summer, next year, what major I should stick with or change, I just want to curse or something. Or kick something.
Damn Natalie Portman and her Psych Degree from Harvard University. Damn her pride over having a degree which promises that I can graduate from college with a butt load of loans, and still no clear idea what I can do with a degree about people.
I can barely understand myself. Even if I want to be a psychiatrist I have to go to med school. Which would mean I would want more background in Bio.
Damn.
Unless I become a famous actor, who can parade around with my psych degree, I have no idea what I am doing.
And as my advisor, who really didn't advise, says I am stuck in no man's land.
And then of course as I am fuming over my indecisiveness, Marie calls to talk about how her advisor says she may graduate early, and the she goes on to berate me about psych degrees not even being beneficial for grad school.
Yeah. Thanks. Maybe you should have told me this last semester. Could have helped then.
Back to trying to sort this all out. My head hurts. I have like 200 more pages of Native Son to read by tomorrow. I have no idea what Native Son has to do with British Litertature. Sure it's a great book but the last I checked Richard Wright was American, and the story is set in Chicago.
I can't wait till school is over.

WTF??? native son in a brit-lit class? i'm stumped. i read it last fall for my american lit course.....didn't like it too much either.
your advisor sounds useless. go see a premed advisor of some sort. why did you choose psych major? do you like it? will it get you where you want to go? what else could you do as a major that might be more helpful/exciting/interesting?
i myself have never understood why anyone wants to major in psych. the few psych classes i've attended were kind of boring.
if i can offer any advice let me know (email anytime!) i am at the end of my EIGHTH YEAR of higher education so i have experience. also, B-to-the-Y-Ram is my resident med school friend and i *know* he will give you any advice you might need. he's super nice and informative.
now i must do work.
Isn't it weird that people who make millions of dollars feel they have to "prove" to everyone that they are "smart" and can earn a degree like every "average" person. What are they trying to prove, exactly? Okay, we get it Natalie, you can go to Harvard and get a degree. Will you ever use that degree to go into the psychology field to help those who require it? Didn't think so.
