What jobs are open to psych majors?

I'm interested in my psych AP class, but not sure I want to be a psychiatrist or a therapist. I know people can get into any job, but i'm wondering what types of non-psych jobs tend to be good fits for psych majors? Any real world examples? #psychology #job-search

Do people find Vet opportunities near their home town or do you have to relocate

I'm potentially interested in veterinary medicine but unsure of the opportunities after college graduation and vet school. Do people often relocate for jobs or do you find enough opportunities near your home town vicinity? #veterinary #jobs

How can I make an impact on the world?

I have always wanted to make an impact in the world. I lived for it as a child (16 years and going in the Girl Scouts, NHS Scholar, etc), but doing it with established organizations is different than doing it on your own.

What are the differences between education at a public university and a private university, if any?

Many teens struggle to decide between attending a public or a private university. Should one be valued more than the other? If so, why? Personally, I believe it depends on the major one is pursuing.
