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.

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.
