why are you taking psychology?

    i am wondering are you taking psychology to help people with their mental health or to make money?I know money is important,but i think you have to have a longing to help people in need.

    Most psych majors are in it to help people. You aren't going to get rich from psychology most of the time.

    First off if you are doing this just to make money, you will never be happy with your career. I'm taking this course becuse I've always been interested in the human mid and how it works. But mostly because Ilove to help people.

    Re: why are you taking psychology?

    I want to switch from Criminal Justice to Psychology because in my field of Law Enforcement I have attended many specialized schools pertaining to my field. Dealing with people is what my line of work is all about. No matter what area people are on the job they will be dealing with people day and night. The biggest thing I have noticed is that we are dealing with the same people over and over again. Most are suffering from different disorders, all different types, maybe it will help me be the best I can be if I understand better. I also believe that it would greatly help me understand how to deal with employee matters. I plan to do a few more years in this line of work good Lord willing to build up my retirement plan. I am already working in ministry and that is my real passion and that is definately another job dealing with and trying to understand people. So I believe this course would help me just in life in general but i do plan on obtaing my bachelors degree in criminal justice. When all that is finished it will be time for seminary.

    I am taking psychology to help people. I currently work with homeless women and their children in a transitional housing program. The majority of them suffer from mental health diagnosis, the moms and kids. I am hoping having a degree in psychology will enable me to be able to help them more than I currently do as their case manager.
