ACCT now!

So as it happens I tend to be very good in my accounting class and I can see myself doing this for a career. My problem with this is that I can not see a way for me to implement my psychology classes into that career field. what would I do, give therapy to people who wait to long to do their taxes?

Also I am at the point in my major where it is not feasible to simply drop it to a minor. I have taken too many courses and I am too close to finishing it.

So my question is what the hell am I suppose to do? I am meeting with a professor sometime this week or next and am also scheduled to talk with a counselor at my schools career center tomorrow. So wish me luck and I hope I have an answer soon, else wise my sanity may well disappear.

So Law School or Computers?

So I am in my Business Law class today and the Professor hands out this sheet of paper with a bunch of letters on it and different jobs underneath the letters. He tells us that the letters above the list of jobs are one of 16 general archetypes of the MBTI (Meyers Briggs Type Indicator). And that the jobs underneath each set of letters are fields that if you have that code would excel in.

So I look at my four letter code, INTP. As I am looking at the list of jobs that I should do well in, I realize that the field I had been heading towards this entire year is not in my list. The list is instead comprised of Law careers, a couple scientific fields and computers.

So now I am in a bit of a crisis because I am ridiculously close to having my Psychology degree finished and it appears that I should pick a career that does not mesh very well with the exception of Law School.

I hope you can see my frustration in that I have essentially wasted the last 2 years of my education in pursuing a degree that I in all likely hood am not going to every use in a professional setting.

Because I got Bored

Movie Class

Why do some teachers feel it is OK to substitute lecture and content with movies? An example is in my Theories of Personality class. We spent 2 days watching "Tuesday's with Morrie". I'm not slamming the film, it is a very good movie, but what are we suppose to get out of that in regards to content relevant to the class I am paying over 500$ to take?

Another example is from my Philosophy of Aesthetics class. We are doing a unit now on propaganda and the use of art as a political tool. My teacher has been showing us "Triumph of the Will" a Nazi propaganda film. I have no idea what I am suppose to be getting from this? Is it that propaganda works? Am I suppose to notice the camera angles and techniques used?

I think that on occasion teachers forget that we do not know everything they do. I think they have a hard time looking at things from our (the students) perspective. I am paying money to come to class and to learn something from these experts. I expect to have conversations, discussions, even a lecture. But to throw up a video and hope we gleam something from it, is in my opinion a cheap and lazy trick that is a waste of my time. If I want to watch a movie I will go and rent one.

Doin the Wash

So why is it that the majority of college kids I know, do not know how to do laundry?

When ever I have been in the laundry room at my apartment I have seen other people throwing everything together in the same washer. Did their parents never tell them to not mix whites and colors? I know that sounds racist but when it comes to laundry it really does help.

If one where so inclined, they could make a killing by doing other peoples laundry for them. It does not take a genius to separate by colors and material types.

A sticky situation

I have been in college for 2 years now. During this time have done much thinking and have come to several conclusions. The first of which is in regards to the female orgasm. Now you may be asking what conclusion can be drawn about this "myth"?

I have come to the conclusion that in terms of orgasm's, women have it better then men. Women are provided with a wide expanse of toys and other items to aid them in reaching this goal. Men have their hand and maybe a bottle of lube...

The after glow. The residual feelings of warmth and tenderness. For women it leaves them nearly paralyzed for a time. For men, we can just get up and go back to what ever they were doing before.

Another disproportional aspect is societal reaction.

An example. Let us say that you were to walk in on your friend while masturbating. If that friend were a guy, you would look away instantly and have some feeling of revulsion. While if that friend were a female, you might still look away but there is less likely a feeling. This concept is seen all around the internet porn sites. How many video clips are there of just a guy jerking away? And for those who do enjoy the cock, is just seeing a penis really that arousing? Then we look at the sites and clips of women masturbating, and we are aroused and excited. what is it that gives us this rush?

The last incongruous aspect of this in my mind is the mess. Women have it so much easier then men. They do not have to worry about cleaning up or hiding the evidence, (well maybe some of the evidence) while men are left with a sticky problem and are forced to use copious amounts of tissue to erase what they have just done.
The one equalizing thing in all of this is that time of the month. Oh how women pay for their heightened pleasure.
