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.
