Hi! I’m Shelby and I’m sorta figuring out all this stuff right now. I’m in high school but looking into psychology or an education degree in the next few years. She/her pronouns

@ShelbySanss Hi, Shelby. Welcome! 

 

 In case you'd like to chat with other teens, here is AVEN's Teen Corner chat thread.

Hi Shelby! I'm a psych major and my bestie is an education major. They are very different majors with usually very different careers. Psych is more research-based than one might think, and education is great if you can be a mentor to small children (if you can do it for small children, you can do it for big children). In terms of careers, people with a psych degree typically either get a regular job that doesn't care about degree or they (we) go to grad school. Teaching as a career can be very punishing at the moment, but also rewarding if you like children. 

 

Regardless, I'm sure you'll do great, and welcome to AVEN! 🍰🎂🍰
