I suppose I need a boost of confidence (college related)
I've been mulling over switching my major and after speaking with a few of my professors I only have a few more steps to take before I make the final decision.
The major I want to switch to is psychology and I'm looking for an individualized concentration program. The career field I'm looking into is involved with the biological behaviors of neuroscience. Switching my major means I would need to do 100 hours of internship.
I think my main concern with that is time. How many weekly hours working as an intern are typically required for a full time student? If my life situation stays the same I'd be looking at juggling school, raising 2 kids, working, and the internship. I'm just wondering how on earth I would ever find the time to manage.
it is also super competitive. look up the course requirements for that major and it should give you specifics about the internship info.
I'll look that up, mama. Thank you.

at my university an internship is either the same as full or part time work. it depends on your field.

what is your current major?
with requirements like that, a lot of times the internship is done at the end of schooling and is treated as it's own semester. At least, that is how a lot of people I know did it. Out of curiosity, what are you planning on doing with your psych degree? I know a lot of career paths require a masters if it is psych related...
it's like one of those subjects...the more you know :)

I got my AA...in general studies. it was basically a waste of 2 years. yes, I do have my general courses towards any bachelors out of the way, it's set me back some.

I can't help with knowledge from that major. I did attend a few nursing semesters as a single mother and it was all done during daytime hours. I think you will be just fine and you have the drive ;) You can do it, Hope. I just believe that you can. I might not know you as well as others but I do think that once you are determined that you just decide to do it...get it done.
It will work out. Believe in yourself ;)
