Changing majors ...again.

[PigtailsJazz]

Hellooo, everyone. I am writing because I have really been at a loss this year trying to figure out what to do with my life. I have already changed my major about 4 times over the last 3 years in college, and now, as a senior, I've been planning to change it again.

Originally I was planning to change it back to music therapy (which was something I had switched it away from when I freaked out about it), but I've been unable to do so, and given the amount of work I would have to do for something that I'm not quite sure I want to make a career, I've been thinking I want to major in psychology instead. If I did psychology, I'm quite sure I could finish it in a year and a half, given the amount of credits I already have and trying to meticulously plan out what I should do. The only problem is that I haven't talked with an advisor in the psychology department yet. And I plan on doing that tomorrow during my break at work.

So...
I need prayer to be able to talk to the advisor and get cleared up exactly what I would need to do to fulfill the requirements I would have left for this major. I also need to see if it's where God is leading me and if it's what He wants me to do.
If it's what He wants...
then I need a lot of prayer for going into this department. My university is very lost...and psychology seems to be one of the most atheistic/antagonistic-towards-Christians departments at my school.


thanks....^^

[edit]
also, any advice from people who are/were psychology majors?

Well, I did 3 classes of psy^^ It was interesting. The saddest part of the class was when the prof asked us a show of hands of who thought there WASN'T life after death. Pretty much all but 3 of us (some hesitantly) did :/ The world needs hope v_v...

Well, hope this turns out to be your final go, praying...

I hope that by now, you would have some better idea of what you want to do. I've never really considered psychology as a field that's antagonistic to Christians (philosophy perhaps) but eitherways, I will pray.

I have friends who took psychology as their majors and are now working: One of them is in consumer and marketing research (studying the psychology of consumers) and the other is in special children's education (dealing with psychological disorders). Hope this helps.

Thank you so much!

I actually just talked to my parents and found that I can double major in psychology and music therapy....so that's what I'm going to do! I also have a good friend who is a believer and has gone through the whole psychology program (graduating this summer) that I can talk to about everything when things get hard ^^ I'm so excited!!! (even though it's going to add an additional year to my coursework/tuition...oh, well)

Oh, and I did talk to both a psychology advisor and my music therapy professor....that was a few days ago (forgot I mentioned it at the beginning)

I will be praying that your double major works out for you.
