- Jan 1st 2017-happy New Year Guys!! Here Is My 2017 Resolution For This Year (^^) I Categorized It Into

- ̗̀ jan 1st 2017- happy new year guys!! here is my 2017 resolution for this year ヽ(^。^)丿 i categorized it into three sections: mental/personal, academic, and things in general! when i complete then, i put an ‘x’ on the dot !!

Getting a Psychology Degree (When you don’t want to be a counselor):

Every time I tell people that I am pursuing a degree in psychology, their response is immediately “Oh, so you want to be a counselor?”

No- I don’t. I love the work that counselors do for society, but I can never see myself being one. The thought of working in hour settings in a small office does not provide me the same joy that it provides other scholars in my program.

The problem is that I’m not positive what career path I am going to take. I thought I wanted to get a Masters in Sports Psychology and work as an athletic consultant for a college or professional team. Sports Psychology is a field I am heavily interested in, and I found a few Masters programs that spiked my interest.

But then I took my first Psych Statistics course and was baffled by how quickly I fell in love. In high school I hated math, but for some reason I absorbed the class content quickly and ENJOYED analyzing psychological experiments in conjunction with the scientific method. I was even offered a paid research position because of my newfound passion for statistics and psychology. The professor also told me that I should look into going straight into a PhD program. She feels I would be a very good fit for academia.

Suddenly, I don’t know what I want to do anymore. As much as I want to pursue my degree in Sports Psychology, I was only pleased with one of the doctoral programs I researched. There are better PhD programs for general Psychology or Mental Health tracks, but I still am passionate about Sports Psychology. Furthermore, my passion for utilizing the experimental method is having me question if I want to do research in Psychology instead.

What do you all think?
