Welcome Orla. I presume you are young. Might I suggest in addition to your chosen major, you double major or at lease add another minor field such as welding, mechanics, drafting, engineering, or carpentry to your curriculum vitae. To be a psychologist in today's climate generally means you will work in a moral sewer with lots of people who neither want, nor can be helped. Psychologists and Psychiatrists have an extremely high rate of suicide, health problems, and mental illness because they work in a moral sewer. Imagine landing a job profiling molestors, rapists, and the like; or providing recommendations to courts full of judges who are more sociopathic than Chuck Manson. I'm not being facetious; psychology and psychiatry mostly have you working for the most sadistic criminals of all: lawyers, cops, judges, and social service thugs.
I call it good to have a skillset for a fallback when you want out of mental sewage land.
I'm excited to be here and am looking forward to gaining some fresh perspectives. I look forward to getting to know everyone!
