Expert advise request in Psychology degrees.

xygirl,

It appears that you have accumulated quite a bit of feedback and information from posters on this forum. However, have you made direct efforts to contact Capella, NCU and other schools to speak with their advisors to ask them specific questions that would assist you in making an education/career decision? Have you spoken directly with Rehabilitation Counselors and Psychologists in order to obtain their perspectives regarding their respective professions? Yes asking posters on this forum for their feedback is a good start but only a beginning. Being directly involved in planning one's future career direction is imperative in enhancing one's chances of selecting a suitable career choice.

In addition, we all want to find a career that offers us top salary and provides us with a competitive age. We would also like to have guarantees about our career choices. However, due to the rapid changing nature and direction of our society it is almost impossible to prognosticate with 100% accuracy what the employment situation will be in any sector.

So, if you continue to be unable to make a career decision it may be in your interests to sit down face-to-face with a Career Counselor and discuss your concerns, prioritize your career interests, values and goals as well as your options that are congruent with your strengths and constraints.

 

You are absolutely right! I do admit to ask questions without knowing enough.
I did spend days and hours and realise more and more how complicated it all is.
I did contact the universities and did make up my mind about Capella.
They were very helpfull, but of course each university will promote their own qualities.
so, all I was still trying was to get some feedback from actual former students. What's a better references than those who actually were there.
Anyway, I'm still very greatful for this board and I try to help out when I can as well (with the little knowledge that I have so far).
You are right about the career and the fact that it's all very subjective.
Then again, we all receive different opportunities in life so we cannot compare.
Evenso, the advise given here and the sharing of experiences has been very helpful to me and I will continue to look throughout this board for information.
Thank you for all the effort and I will stick around if you don't mind.
