Are there any careers that could combine a psychology major and a love of theater?
I am a senior in high school and have always had a fondness for theater, specifically the behind the scenes work rather than actually performing. Recently I have been thinking about possible majors and career paths certain majors could open up for me and, although I love theater, I don't think I will major in it. I might major in psychology, though, but I still want to be able to have a foot in the dramatics as I develop a career path. Are there any careers that allow this? #career #psychology #career-paths #theater #multiple-interests
