+213 Psychology is actually more interesting than the mere "How do you feel about this" garbage highlighted in movies. I mean Psycology is the study of the human brain and all its complexities, and actually finding out how it works. amirite?

You're right but that's just the behaviorist side. Cognitive psychology and humanist psychology focus on different aspects

It's still quite interesting isn't it?

Sure is. Psych was my favorite class. I don't really have a stance; I just think it's so fun to learn why people think the way they do.

If only it paid better than it does. Then I would definitely go into it.

Being a psychologist pays a lot... "According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the middle 50 percent of psychologists employed in these three areas earned between $48,700 and $82,800. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $37,900, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $106,840." http://psychology.about.com/od/careersinpsychology/a/earnings.htm

Thing is, I plan on earning six figures, so that would be at least 100,000. 37,900 just won't cut it.

Just because you can make more doesn't mean anything else is not a lot. And you can make 6 figures being a psychologist.

Eh, I dunno. Psychology seems like more of a hobby to me. I'm not really as passionate about the subject (no, the money issue isn't the deal-breaker for me, but it is a factor). I'm more passionate about computer-science, so I really want to do something with that.

If you just studdy it then I can see that, but a job isn't a hobby because you don't go to work as a psychologist during leaisure time or pleasure.

I'll have to disagree partly on that. Confucius once said that if you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life.

Psychology. Aka trolling 101. It would be soo easy messing with people. I read somethig online about a psychology major coming back from college and basically winning every argument against his parents. "the reason you're mad at me is a result of your own insecurities" ok it sounded better than that....

the dullest people are the ones who tamper with our brains. anyone who had an understanding wouldn't dare.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Its not so much as tampering as it is (like the OP said), finding out how it works. And in relation to your statement, pretty much NO ONE has a COMPLETE understanding of it. Psychology is there to help figure some of that out - why people think or act the way they do.
