College Major

Well I got my bs in recording arts and worked as a sound engineer but ultimately while I like the job, I hate the environment. Basically I realize I hate freelancing so I went back to school specifically for pharmacy because while it's not my passion, I don't hate it and it's great pay and job availability/growth. And with only 2 years of required undergrad classes, it seemed to be the faster do-over. The medical field is good but a lot of degrees require quite a bit of classes so it might not be prudent to switch majors unless you really, really decide to go through with it. Basically you'd be starting over. I have a cousin who did psych. I can't remember if it was masters or doctorate she said you'd have to be to actually get a decent job. :/

@Azuma, I'm not a big fan of doing a research job either interest-wise so the medical field probably isn't for me :S @Xueil I thought about psychology too but I don't think I'd make a good therapist and I have no idea if I want to pursue a masters or doctorate :S.

Don't do psychology. Every other dumb sorority girl does psych because its easy and it allows them to sound pseudo-intellectual. "Like, I'm really interested in the human mind lol" But practically, you won't get anywhere with it, unless you plan on getting your doctorate so that you could teach it/conduct research. But otherwise, the job market for that major looks bleak.
