It's good you made this decision now and not in the closing semesters of your major KG. Education is an amazing field that really holds a lot of options. What Professor S does sounds interesting and extremely palatable for someone who doesn't like the idea of marose class routines, stifling req's, and bitchy parents. Maj in psych doesn't offer too much beyond a limited secondary field and teaching in a college or university. Does the prospect of treating patients appeal to you? It's lucrative enough and you'll have to get your masters or more if you want to do anything with it so...
There's also teaching abroad if you lean towards english and lit. If you nail down an MA you can go all over and expect good pay. You can take short courses that get you a ticket as well. I've always thought private tutoring to be a better alternative to the public school sector....but at the same time if 'making a difference' is your thing then a secondary school teaching position holds huge potential. Follow what you love and the finances fall into place.
My first year I went to Thailand for school and it was mostly a waste of time. I loved my experience there but the education was a write off. I just completed second year at college and am left with more questions about my career choice. My psych courses felt extremely redundant coming from a textbook thumping unexperienced prof. Abnormal psych by a different prof was amazing though...it's so up to the prof if the course is gonna be good. Anyway, I'm still mostly interested in English and language so I'm switching my major from biology to that. Not sure if I'm gonna be back in classes this next semester or take a break. Right now I feel like my access to literature is unending with the way my college has a shared library branch with UBC, UVIC, and the OC colleges all around the province so I have good access for another year. I'm actually thinking of culinary school on the east coast as messed up as that sounds to me. I've got the travel bug and this whole living with the parents so I can afford school gig isn't playing out all that well. Business school... Self employment is a must for myself and I like the idea of owning a small business. I'm drywalling this summer and I'm sure by the end I will want to get back out of the construction route.
