What to dooooo?
Ok, I posted this on my FB, but I think I am missing some of you on my FB, sooooo some get to double read this :)
I dont know what to do! Should I take a touch of each( one psy class, edu class and soc class) This semester, or should I take 4 Soc classes, which would get me certified in criminology (and then go on to take more psy). Or take 4 psy classes (which I would also eventually need to do pre med. And then get a Doctorate......) or take 4 edu classes and I could get my degree in edu in 4 semesters and begin work as a teacher
Its very hard for me to give up they dream of being a psychiatrist or forensic psychologist, since I have had that desire for years. But I do have a strong yearn to be a teacher as well!
I could be a teacher and be going to school at the same time (part time of course) for psychology, but then I feel like Ive given up the dream. If money was not an issue this would me much easier. Not to mention put years of my life into psychology, I took psychology classes in high school as well as getting an AS in the subject. As you can see, this problem torments me
The education department is pressuring me into overloading in education classes to get my degree very fast, when I first got into the U I pictured about 2 classes psy and 2 edu. Or 1 edu, 2 psy and 1 premed. But education dept disagrees. I guess there is a strong need for special education teachers, and since I want to work with severely disables kids.... Makes it even more demanding. They say the classes for that degree is quite easy and can be done in 3 to 4 semesters. I guess a good idea would be to get that degree so I have a good income (at least better then current...). But what if I love teaching or feel I cannot leave. God damnit.
