I plan to enroll in college in August, but the college I choose strongly depends on my major. My interests include: Mathematics (Statistics and Algebra), Science (Biology and Human anatomy), Healthcare, Office work, Education (Teaching/children), Mental health/ Counseling, Handling money, and Management/Business Administration/ Human resources. My goals for my career include: helping others , having a salary that allows me to live comfortably, having a good work-life balance, and being happy with my career. I would love to find a major/career that includes most, if not all, of my interests and goals. I would also like to be able to start working after I obtain my bachelor's or master's degree (if needed).

What job opportunities/prospects and environments are available to someone with a Bachelor's of Science in Applied Psychology?
I know that I could probably work in a hospital, or a therapist's/psychologist's office. I would like to know if there are any jobs where I would be mobile or could make housecalls or videochat with patients who cannot make it to an office building or perhaps are in another country? (There seems to be a big new calling for online therapists or mobile apps for therapy that I have been seeing advertised on social media). I have a big fascination for other cultures and I want to be available to everyone and have a bigger outreach for patient care. I also have a penpal in Germany, and have since age 15. I love talking to all different kinds of people. #psychology #mentalhealth #psychologydegree #psychologymajor
