Okay so just a question in general because i know i want to be some type of psychologist... I'm not sure what kind yet. I would love to be a criminal psychologist but i don't think i could handle it... SO... a Major in psychology and minor in special education to become a psychologist for children with special needs... Realistic or am I missing something?

So...you'd want to be a School Psychologist? I don't know exactly but I'm assuming that would work out similarly to my MLIS..School Library Media...where I needed teacher certification to work in a school...essentially like a second masters since I didn't have a BA in education.

If this is along the lines of what you want to do, I would recommend looking at degree requirements for Masters/Doctoral requirements School Psychology Programs... and for college I'd major in education and get a minor in psychology..

Also...you would be able to teach while you worked on your masters/phd...

This is the route I wish I'd gone in undergrad rather than getting a silly degree in Mass Communication and then studying library science in grad

I would rather be working in an office and not in a school.

I'd say realistic for undergrad. You'd definitely need a masters and probably a PhD but if you're still in high school I wouldn't worry too much about those things yet. The one thing I've learned is to not force yourself into a specific career just because you have an idealistic image of how things are supposed to be in your head. I'm now in my third year of college and changing my major from a very specific one to something more broad. I may not be able to get a job with it and it terrifies me, but at least I won't be working in a field I know I hate. Just keep an open mind about things and you'll be fine.

heard back from my second college, Whitworth University in washington and I got accepted there as well as another $12,500 yearly merit scholarship! So far I'm 2 for 2!

Jealous about Flagler! We stayed at a resort in Palm Coast a few years ago over Easter and went to St. Augustine a few nights and I loveddd it. It's the only town I would ever consider moving to on the Atlantic side of Florida. I just love the Gulf side too much haha

I was accepted to University of Rhode Island today, but last night I sent in my deposit for East Carolina University! I'm so excited

My daughter decided on USF (University of South Florida). Hopefully will make it thru Pharmacy School. They have an all-girl cheer team that she is planning on trying out for.

Congrats!

 

[TinyBlondie15]

So, in my mind I've pretty much decided I want to go to UNF (University of North Florida) but I'm still waiting on scholarship info (don't find out until February 1st and I'll be in California). If I get this job I applied for at Applebees then I'll be half paying for college and half for tumbling lessons again so I can cheer there.

 

[TinyBlondie15]

Accepted to UCF! They finally got back to me after MONTHS of trying to see if they had everything. 7/7!

 

[Cheer03KC]

Does anyone know of some good colleges in the midwest to cheer at that compete to?
