Psychology

[Rye]

Psychology is another thing I'm extremely interested in. If it was easy to become a psychology teacher (which it is not, because schools don't hire someone who teaches only psychology; they hire someone who has their degree in History or something of that sort with a minor in Psychology), I'd definitely want to do that. Perhaps I can get certified in it after I get my Music Education degree. Anyway, I almost decided to go to the college for Psychology at the last minute, because I got into Northeastern (a really fantastic college in Boston), but I decided to stick with Music Ed. I still want to take many many classes for it though. I will have to quite a few for childhood psychology, since I'll be study to be a teacher, but I want to take even more!

One of my favorite things in Psychology that I learned was behavioral and personality disorders, like Schizophrenia a la John Nash, and things like fugue, OCD, classic conditioning and Freud's theories like the Oedipus Complex. Body image disorders also really interest me, because I can relate to them deeply, and it fascinates me.

Is anyone majoring in Psychology? Interested in it like I am?

I've taken two psychology courses. Both were awesome, but hard.

You can teach Psychology exclusively. Schools in North America might require a PhD. though.

We learned about John Nash in politics! Nash Equilibrium ftaccurateportrayalofmankindftw!

I find Psychology interesting, but it's not something I'd ever want to study as a career, or for an exam or anything. Maybe just something to read about in passing.

Having done a Psychology course this year... I've learned that being a Psychologist has moved down my list of possible careers. xD

I love psychology. I want to be a forensic psychologist which would require getting a BSc (Honours) in Psychology and a MSc in Forensic Psychology. Sounds tough. I wouldn't mind being a psychology teacher, either.

Back then I took Psychology in Grade 12 and I enjoyed it quite a lot. I even got a 97% in it as my Final Mark.

If I ever find my current career path is turning out to be bad I might switch to a Psychology related career.

Evastio is an adult. You heard it here first.

I think it's one of the most interesting things, evar! Too bad I'm not in any position to take a class xD

I took a class on it last semester and even though I didn't do so well (had pretty much a C average the whole semester), it was interesting to me. My favorite things to learn about were Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs, Freud, and the thing about Oral, Anal, Phallic, etc (I think it's related to Freud but I can't be too sure..)

We watched "A Beautiful Mind" in my Psychology class. along with "Sybil".

John Nash rocks, Sybil sucks.

Sociology > Psychology



I'm a Sociology major so a lot of the stuff I learn overlaps with the Psychology curriculum. I've even taken a Social Psychology class before. Sociology / psychology is one of them "easy" majors, and it is relatively easy compared to other majors, but I also think it's incredibly useful in life. Soc/Psych is all about who we are, how we learn, grow, love, adapt, etc. Sociology helps me understand the world better and I prefer it to Psychology because it isn't so focused on the individual, but more about societies, group interactions, etc.

Also, Freud was a little crazy with mommy issues.

Though the sociology class I'm taking has been the easiest class. Ever. My test grades are 104, 100, 98, 94, and 97. That's the whole grade for the class.
