I've been wanting to do that... it was with that aim that I went to York to study Psychology in a BA program.

Finished my four-year Honours degree and a TESOL Certificate there, but did not end up working in Psychology (a bit to my disappointment). Then was unemployed and having trouble finding a job (for about a year, but it seemed like a really long unbearable while then), alternating between a few temporary-placement agencies for short-term assignments at various companies and locations. Now, after a long while, I have finally found employment in a computer company, and I work in the warranty department, doing basically administrative stuff.

lol not YET girl. I do a combination of pyschotherapy and cognitive-behavioral treatment as my focus. Work with youth ages 18-23 in the Bronx who are returning to an alternative school because they were in prison, dropped out, in gangs, etc. Many are violent offenders. I love them.

I do *specialize* in sexuality from my masters program, and run many workshops and groups in dealing with such a topic...... but wont be a sex THERAPIST until I get my doctorate or a sex therapy certification which requires 4-5 years at a psychotherapeutic institute.

I havent had a "real" job in my LIFE, so I wanna make some money to invest with my masters before going back for the PhD or PsyD, and thus sex therapy. The thought of investing 5 more years right now is just exhausting tho



Lisa you are my bitch.

Originally posted by yankeeBaby I do a combination of pyschotherapy and cognitive-behavioral treatment as my focus.

Just graduated with a Combined Honours BA in English Literature and Cultural Theory + French Linguistics - needed it to go on into the next 2 years of my life which will direct me straight onto my desired career path.

21 yrs old = not ready to work fulltime

PS. I find that Arts students tend to know more about "the real world" than techies and/or mathematicians/scientists... their kind of study produces a more flexible mindframe and understanding demeanour (of course I'm generalizing here) ... most engineers *I* know are sarcastic assholes... a lot of people in MATH don't know WTF they are doing with their lives (totally jealous of their skills though)... and people in Econ and/or Commence tend to get caught up under the umbrella of "I'm going into business" which generates such a large scope of possibilities that they develop depression (exaggerating here obvi)

I have a lot of friends in these three fields so I'm not hating at all... I find that non-arts students tend to have a natural talent for what they do and they take their intelligence for granted - then sneer at those who work their asses off.

I think all the hype about "Arts Matter" is total BS... if your field of study "matters" then there is no need to defend it against all the rest. Just do your thing and make sure you love what you do.

Bottom line:
I think that society needs all streams of education equally to produce a constant flow of diverse professionals.

haha I wouldn't say depression
but Econ/Commerce peeps do need to specialize a bit to know exactly what they're doing with their live... in my case I'm hoping to complete an MBA at one point
but first I'm getting a 2nd BA by the looks of it lol got accepted to another Honours BA at York, HR Management

I have a late birthday and I skipped OAC and went straight into my first year at 17 --- I wouldn't reccommend starting that early to many people... it was overwhelming at times.

Being a nerd FTW *pushes glasses up nose*
