What should I do Next Am I going in the right direction??
Hi! I am a current college senior majoring in Psychology and minoring in Sociology. As my time in undergrad nears the end... I have found people asking me what I'm doing next. While that may be an overwhelming question.. I do have an idea and I'd like to get a professional opinion. My long term goal is to become a Pediatric Neuropsychologist. However, I am currently working two jobs to support myself through school and I know that will be a trend into my masters and doctoral degree. I had the idea of working while getting a master degree in School Psychology and working as a School Psychologist while in the pursuit of my PhD. I wanted some guidance on this plan as I am a first gen college student with no real guidance or help. Any advice is helpful and appreciated !
I want to create a club centered around mental health involving youth voices. But I want to expand beyond just a generic informational club and the clubs already established at my school. What type of club can I start?
Hello! Life after high school to me means being a neuropsychologist. I'm very passionate about mental health and the brain. Currently, I am on a youth committee centered around youth voices advocating for mental health, and it has sparked an inspiration to start a club at my school involving mental health. What I see in this club is multiple things: neuroscience, psychology, mental health, policies, advocating, media, and youth voices. At my school, I expect there to already be mental health clubs, but I want to start a club that expands beyond that. I also want to contribute to things, create things, host events, rather than just be an informational club. This is something I'm very passionate about, but I want ideas about potential clubs I can start. I really want to involve different things in this club instead of just focusing on one main thing, for me, I want to involve both neuroscience, psychology, and mental health awareness.

What are different types of neuroscience careers you can get with an MD?
I am in my last year of undergraduate for a neuroscience major and just started thinking I want to do pre-med. But, I am struggling with what speciality I would wanna do with an in MD related to neuroscience . I am very interested in forensics so like forensic neuropathology (but scared I might get squeamish with autopsies), forensic neuropsychology, or just plain neuropathology/neuropsychology. I would prefer to not work super directly with patients but instead more so study a brain and brain scans. However, I think it would be cool to do tests on people's cognitive abilities and how it relates to their brain abnormalities they might have, specifically those of criminals or psychopaths just because their brains interest me! #medical #doctor #MD #neuroscience #medical-school #pre-med #forensic #forensicneuropathology #forensicneuropsychology #neuropsychology #neuropathology
