Been into trance as far as I can remember..

Don't go into psychology at the university level. Biggest mistake I ever made. I'm in it now and dying to get out. I'll be switching into Early Childhood Education. Teaching 1+1=2 is much easier than the complex and varying parts as well as the functions of the ing visual cortex. Then there's the implications it has on the central nervous system plus a bunch of other crap. Psyc made me feel dyslexic and incompetent but maybe that was just me :p...
Welcome though :) |

Most ladies I know go into Early Childhood Education. Apparently, it's really interesting. As for Psychology, now you got me doubting it.. That's a pretty scary description you've given me. lol..
I have other back ups though, so it's all good. :tongue3 |

Just make sure you check out these classes before you do anything
definitive:
Research Methods in Psychology (PSYC 310)
Statistical Inquiry (PSYC 315)
Learning I & II(PSYC 346)
Fundamentals of Abnormal Psychology (PSYC 322)
Sensation & Perception I & II (PSYC 349)
Ummmmmmmm what else?
Cognitive Development I & II is a ing bitch...
Motivation I & II
Basically, I was not understanding ANYTHING I was reading, I could barely pronounce the words I was trying to read. After being on honour roll with 85%+ averages all my freaking student life, my self esteem as a student was shot waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down.
And oh yeah, unless you have your CEGEP biology, you'll have to take BIOL 202 or 201 (201 is more lab based)...It sucks.
That's only the tip of the iceberg my dear. THEN after your 3-4 years of your Bachelor's, you are totally obliged to specialize if you wanna be an actual psychologist and not the person sharpening his pencils. Specialization means graduate school which means more time and money which means high competition which means blah blah blah, you get my point.
Oh yeah one more thing: Books on average cost about 600$ to 800$ for 4 classes (12 credits). And you have approximately 500 pages of fine print to read EVERY week.
Hope it works out for you dude :) |

I graduate this summer with my AA in Applied Sciences for Radiography. It's an AWESOME field...and I think you should check it out. Maybe shadow a technician for the day like my program requires. (I'm not sure if you mean you want to be a radiologist or radiographer) but us radiographers only do 2 years of school and start out at 20/hr +
Plus, you get to stick something in someone's butt, so what more could you ask for? :gsmile: |

Well by radiologist I mean, the guy who does MRI/X-Ray tests on you.
I'm guessing radiographer is the same thing... minus the stick in the butt. lol |
