I have really good internship offers for the medical field, but Im really only interested in the Mental Health field, does anyone have any recommendations to what I should do?

Hi, Currently I am a highschool student who is also minoring in psychology at community college and plans to double major in psychology and sociology, then earn a masters in social work, recently I was presented the opportunity to be inscribed with the Congress of Future Medical Leaders Award of Excellence, which is a two day national academy of future physicians congress meeting that will also allow me to be featured on local TV stations and newspapers. The problem being that I'm not interested in the medical field as a future career path. If I were able to pass this over to someone else, I would but I can't. This would be a really big opportunity to put myself out there, and it would look really good on college applications, and on my academic profile, but it doesn't have anything that I inherently want for my future career path, and it also might look weird on my college applications.

Can you get an associate's degree in one subject and a bachelor's in another?

I am an aspiring LCSW in sophomore year. I am taking my associates in college this year, but I don't know if I should major in Psychology and English or Sociology and English (I have to take a college class for English, but It was also recommended that I take another dual college class as well). In college I want to major in Sociology, and I was wondering that if I were to take a Psychology class would it look perplexing on my College application.

What are some pros and cons of different types of therapist careers?

I'm still not entirely sure what kind of therapist I want to be. Although, two that have caught my eye are cognitive-behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, but there are so many more to choose from! If I'm being honest, I'm scared to pursue an education as one or the other because I'm afraid I won't be happy with my choice.

What is some advice for a 13 year old 8th grader who wants to run a bakery?

When I'm older I want to run a bakery, but I don't know where to start. I also really want to be great financially. If a bakery doesn't work put I also LOVEE to help people and put a smile on there face, so a therapist would be ok too, but I also don't know where to start for that one either. Any and all advice helps. Thanks so much!!

I’m 13, and I live in Arizona, I want to know what’s the pros and cons about being a therapist, because I like to help people and want people to fix their situations, and I’m not sure if i will be able to pursue that career. if there are any currently/retired working therapists out there can you let me know by telling me what’s the pros and cons of being one and if it’s not that easy being a therapist and what kind of schooling do I need to be a therapist? And is it worth the time and money to get into being a therapist?

I want to become a therapist while I work on getting my phd in physics. I understand that in order to be a good therapist you have to be able to help solve the problems that the client faces. What if you aren’t able to solve their problems? What are the steps you have to take to ensure the client is stable?
