You could become a "Highly-Paid" pschiatrist ! Or, you could teach it to high school students.. That was one of my favorite classes during my night school times! Or you could become a "Counselor" for any type of topics... Marriage Counselor, people with addictions,, gambeling, sex, drinking,shopping,****,eating-disorders,...Or a counselor, for "Teens" who have suicide issues, or have "Low-Self-Esteem" type of counselor.. I definately would use your knowledge to help the community with any kind of pschological issues. In some sort of way. It'd be like giving back a little bit of what you've achieved. And get paid for it, too!! You could even do it for your local churches. With our country being a "Rapid-Growing" Methaphedamine, country.. You could do "Seminars!" And get other types of doctors, Professionals, to help you with these Seminars, to tell those who are so desperate, to get their "Loved-Ones" off of Meth, how to do it, and how it affects the families, and the doctors could explain, the Medical damage its doing to there Loved ones, and have a Police man come also to explain the laws against those who are involved, or who are codependants to those who do it... Sort of like that show, Intervention...But, this is "SO-BiG" of an epidemic, throughout our country...that you guys wouldn't be doing interventions, you would be doing "Convention-Centers" !!! I mean what have you got to lose? And by golly I bet you'd gross $$$$$-Big-Bucks!! Just charge $10.00 a seat!! And rent a Huge out door Convention-center, pay them, then everyone who is involved with the speeches, divide the rest... You could do this all over America!! And get to travel, see the country, yet, your doing a Very Noble thing for our communities!! And probably even end up on the news, for something such as this!! This epidemic has gotten so bad, this country needs Seminars, for all the Loved ones, who are suffering, from knowing or being related to someone who does Meth!!! I think that one, would definately take you to interesting places, and also help you share all your knowledge, with excellent benefits!!!! Travel, pay, seeing the country!! Its a suggestion, anyway!! Congratulations!!!

in case you desire to pass into to counselling or psychiatry, you will would desire to get a grasp's degree. i'm a Psych pupil on line. i'm in certainty attempting to end my Bachelor's degree for my own own motives. I understand to truly "use" my Psych. degree, maximum possibly i will would desire to pass on with college. do no longer hear to those that say you will by no potential make "any money" along with your degree. some people do, some do no longer . pass into some thing you somewhat take exhilaration in. you would be able to finally finally end up switching majors, whether it truly is the technique of coaching your self it somewhat is significant. I had a job that paid over $36K a year that develop into obtainable to somebody with a GED. it is not continuously coaching that makes you cash. Do some thing you take exhilaration in. Do your analyze and pursue your dream. I remorseful approximately having to get my Bachelor's degree at 33 yrs. previous.!
