Is my goal of studying Forensic Psychology a flop?
Recently, I went to a career counselor, and he recommended that I consider studying Forensic Psychology. However, in my country, there is no degree specifically in Forensic Psychology, so to come close to it, I have to complete multiple degrees in Law and Psychology over 9 years. I've considered applying internationally to the US because they have specific courses in Forensic Psychology that we don't have access to in South Africa, with a similar duration, but it will be pretty much useless in my own country. I have no idea what to do and would appreciate any help or advice!
