    in canada you don't get a master's in psychiatry. You get a BS in psych and go to med school, I believe.

    BA in Creative Writing, BA in Spanish, and a minor in Interdisciplinary Studied (Honours). After I get this out of the way, I'll probebly live in a cardboard box writing poetry.

    hahahaha, that's hilarious sir rubin! i'm sure you'll be successful :). I always wanted to be a writer (especially poetry), but I don't think I could stand doing it all the time.

    What does everyone think about a double major in Psych/Religious Studies? think that's a good combo? I'm quite interested in therapy and social work.

    If you're thinking about social work, I'm sure you'll have to do a Sociology degree.

    Actually, that's not true. My mom thought that when she was in college and was never advised correctly. She ended up getting a sociology degree only to find out that you have to get a specific social work degree. Sociology really only leads to teaching jobs or law school if you don't double major.

    How does Sociology lead to Law School? But yes, Social Work seems to be a Bachelors of it's own...

    Ehh, "social work" is a very broad term for all sorts of things. I've taken a couple Soci courses and they really don't suit me. Soci isn't a pre-req for social work, most definitely - soci deals with larger systemic factors (media, prejudice, biases etc), whereas I'm very interested in helping people on a more personal level, eg. therapy. People who get degrees in Soci actually have a pretty broad range of jobs, because the degree covers so many aspects of the social world... lots of them actually work for businesses in regulating hiring practices and relations within the workplace.

    I'm wondering if a religious studies major would aid in some types of therapy or if it would enhance insight into social psychology (studies)? I'm just extremely interested in the human condition concerning aspects of religion, and i think psych can increase that knowledge in some more scientifically based ways... any thoughts?

    im doing BS, and will be going into either psych, neuropharmacology (if i can handle the chem), or maybe some other direction of attacking the theory of the brain.

    hopefully allll the way to phd. there seems no point to uni otherwise - the most successful careers are the ones you dont need credentials for, so i figure if you go to uni you may as well become part of the world's database of knowlege and put something back in. i can see myself doing a phd and then getting asked to work for the uni and just keep doing research/writing thesis while partaking in creative persuits


    i think religion is something you should study by your own direction in order to get a grip on it (everyones grip is different - the one you develop yourself is strongest, imo)

    I'm studying integrated Language Arts to be a high school english teacher. And I may get a TESOL degree to help non-english speakers successfully adjust to living in America. Or perhaps I will drop my education and be a farmer... a life long dream.

    I'm currently working towards an associate's degree in Liberal Arts. The long-term goal is to get a PhD in some sort of Philosophy. However, I haven't really written anything in stone yet.
