Actually, Satingun NEVER said she is a psych major, she's a Communications Major, but has a nursing background, and an emphasis on psychology. I'm also a Clinical Hypnotherapist, so let me know when you decide to get help; I'm only $110.00 an hour for therapy. :cool:

"The Bachelor of Arts degree offers a more broadly based experience in the "liberal arts and sciences" -- a college experience that goes beyond the minimum requirements in Arts and Humanities, as a strong complement to exposure to math and science.

The Bachelor of Science degree offers a slightly different label for a degree that is more focused in the sciences and mathematics, with less breadth of experience in other areas."

You won't "choose" a BA or a BS; you chose your discipline to study, and that discipline is either a BA or a BS. Neither degree holds more weight than the other; and often if you take only sciences, i.e., math, you are considered by potential employers to not be well-rounded enough for many jobs.
i thought only football players were communications majors?

im a psych major and yes its true you cant do much in the psychology field with only a bachelors besides wipe drool from peoples mouths. but you can definitely get job in many other fields or go to graduate school. My plan is medicine. psychology is also just good for everyday life.

I guess that's what you get for thinking. Didn't play football, did you?

Maybe check out a few retired players that have gone on to announcing, say... Terry Bradshaw. See what education he has.

Oh, hey... What was the theme of that thread I did? Ohhhh, yeah, YOU'LL not ever forget it! lmao... Job done.

My B.A. I'm stuck in between the Nature vs. Nurture battle. My views have always been on both sides, though. Although psychiatrists make more money, they often don't deal directly with a person's psyche. They more or less analyze the client, make a decision on what's best for them, and prescribe them medication. Some see that as more beneficial, but I'm not so inclined. I'd rather become a psychologist and study children and family cases. I have a small amount of formal background in case work and counseling.

In the long run, I'd like to own my own practice or branch off into criminal psychology. Right now I'm heavily focused in on the mind of serial offenders and abnormal psychology i.e. disorders/behavior patterns/ritualistic beliefs. Serial killers are so interesting because of their simple beliefs but complex backgrounds. The crazy thing (pun intended) about serial offenders is that it took nearly a perfect sequence of personal/psychological/natural shifts to make them absolute monsters. Perfect circumstances never render perfect people, as my teacher said. It's a very intense read if you can find books about serial offenders. You should look some up.
damn that sounds pretty interesting...you know any good books?

Anything by authors John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker. Their books are absolutely fascinating and they engulf you with their "behind the scenes" look into the law enforcement side of serial offenders.

John E. Douglas & Mark Olshaker

Mind Hunter (semi-autobiographical) < My favorite book
Obsession
Journey into Darkness < Another favorite
The Cases That Haunt Us
The Anatomy of Motive

Robert K. Ressler & Thomas Schachtman

Whoever Fights Monsters


Try those. ^

All four of those men were part of a new group started at the FBI Quantico facilities back in the 70's and 80's. You can find all of those books on Amazon for pretty cheap, and I'm sure most libraries will have them, as well. Be careful reading those books, though. You'll start to wonder about your own carnal thoughts and how close to killing someone you really could be. They're all very haunting books. Enjoy.

For those who say you can't get many jobs with just a Bachelor's in Psych...

you may be right, because I'm not sure what "many jobs" may be to you, but my wife got a job as a social worker for Child Protective Services with just her BA. It's not easy work, but the pay is decent, you work for the county, and the benefits are good.

There's more out there than you think for having just a bachelors, but yeah, in order to get a decnt job/pay in any field, you're gonna need at least a masters.

^^ thats kinda true the masters is the new bachelors... and if your employer is behind you getting a masters it is not too bad, usually like 30 units. most of the time your employers will pay for it too.
