How difficult is it to go back to school as an adult after deciding to change work fields?
I am deciding to go back to school for an AAS in electronics engineering technology to pursue a more stable future for myself after a few years in tech doing QA. I am in my 30s now and have always wanted to finish my degree. How tough is it to get back in the groove of academia?
How do I know if I want to be in behavioral neuroscience, or psychology ?
I am 28 and have decided I’d like to go back to school. I’d love to study psychology, but more specifically behavioral neuroscience. I know this is a challenging field of study, I am starting off with only a few classes so I can get back in the swing of things and not overwhelm myself. I believe I would be an amazing psychologist, but my deepest interest lies in the brain itself. The emotional labor of therapy is something I don’t think I could handle long term. I’m afraid of biting off more than I can chew with neuroscience, especially after being out of school for quite awhile. Should I major in psychology and minor in biology or chemistry until I find where my interest lies most? I’m feeling very nervous about going back to school, and I’m afraid I’ll waste time going down the wrong path.
