It took me a long time to figure out that my passion in life, besides my three boys, is psychology. The only thing to figure out now is a subfield. When I first became a psychology major, I said I didn't want to work with patients or consult workplaces. I started to research what I would need to do to become a neuropsychologist. Basically, I would need to go to a major university, which throws out the option of Pheonix online for my Bachelors and Masters. So that went out the window. I am beginning to warm up to the idea of working with patients, but I have realized I can't fully make up my mind until I start working as a psychiatric technician next year. If I can get some experience in the field, then work at my degree online, I can get a better understanding of what I should choose as my subfield. Between clinical psychology, teaching psychology, being a high school counselor (not going to happen), and many more, there is a lot to choose from. I find it intriguing that I am starting to soften up towards the idea of clinical psychology, when I was so against it just a year ago. Who knew, lol. I know in the end I won't settle for something in front of me, I will strive for a career that I dream about. :)
