Does a psychology major require an independent study or capstone project Is it based on the university you attend? #Fall25?
I'm a senior in high school. I'm plan to pursue a degree in psychology. Wanted to ask questions regarding my major.
What are some recommended courses for an indecisive undecided major?
I’m currently enrolled in university, but i’m an undecided major. The problem is I am very indecisive about my career path. I know I don’t want to do school for a long time, but I want to make good money. I don’t want to major in anything math heavy because that’s the subject I struggle with the most. Any recommendations?
How do I determine which major or career path to explore for college or university?
Currently, I am a freshman and will be a sophomore after the summer. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my life—what job I want to have and what career I want to pursue—but I feel a bit stuck. I've explored a variety of activities; I participated in a sport, took an introductory dance class, and plan to join the intermediate dance class next year, along with folklórico. Sometimes, I feel like I'm all over the place. I also want to join the California Scholarship Federation (CSF) next school year and participate in other clubs as well. This year, I took sophomore math instead of regular 9th-grade math or honors. I found the class to be somewhat slow. I'm unsure if I should return to honors math or if it will be too challenging for me. Additionally, I enrolled in 3-D art because I used to enjoy making small crafts. I currently have a weighted GPA of 4.0, with A's in all my classes, including some A+ grades and maybe some A-'s or just A's. Given this information, what majors might be a good fit for me? What UC schools could I potentially attend? What is the acceptance rate for those schools?
How can I bounce back from a semester break?
I took a break in the spring semester because I couldn't afford it at the time and also needed a mental break. I'm now back in school for the summer and registered for fall, but I'm feeling nervous as to if I can do well in school or life at all. Any advice?
Have I majorly screwed up my chances for college and (hopefully!) med school?
Greetings all! Currently, I am a sophomore in high school. Last year, I was a 3.5-3.8 GPA student while learning how to study and juggling extracurriculurs. Fast forward past many things in my personal life gone wrong to sophomore year, and now I am meeting with my school counselor and therapist on a monthly basis because I've been doing horribly. I have to retake AP Calculus AB, and my transcript will show this. But in the first place, my report card has never been good since this year started. My goal is to become a psychiatrist since I wish to offer help others who are fighting monsters in ways that others cannot see. I hope I can be the one to catch those hidden struggles that many miss-and I can provide relief, comfort and remedy through a listening ear. But I know premed reqs are extremely laborious and achieving a 3.7+ GPA is NOT easy-not to mention med school-and if I'm already struggling this early... I am afraid. Have I screwed up everything already?

Could a bubbly person thrive in financial/business planning and guidance?
I'm interested in math and helping people, so financial or business planning/guidance seems pretty cool, but I'm nervous about getting bored at work. I'm a bubbly people-person and love problem-solving. However, the idea of going into a career with so much paperwork and office work seems awful, but again, I love math and helping people. (I'm still in highschool, so this isn't a binding idea, just something I'm curious about!) Any thoughts on whether this wouldn't be a great career for lively people?

Do I have to have experience as a teacher to be a school guidance counseler?
I am willing (and eager) to eventually go back to school for a Master's in Counseling & my Pupil Personnel Services Credential, as required by the state of CA. While I have experience within the classroom and in mentoring/tutoring positions, I am not sure I am willing to go back to school for a teaching credential and teach for a few years before moving on to counseling. Would I be less likely to receive job offers because I have not specifically been a teacher?

Did they talk to you about careers in high school? Mine didn't. It was accelerated, average, and vocational, oh wait and farmers.
