I guess it could be interesting. Mine can't tell me anything I don't already know. I might as well be at home talking to a friend on the telephone. I think a lot are in it just for the money. Charge $200 dollars to sit and listen to someone yap for an hour. I do that for free all the time with just about everyone I know. I am in the wrong field.

It's great because you get to learn about your behaviour. About other people's behaviour. The things that stump you right now, might not after getting a BA/MA/Ph.D. (or B/M.Sc.) in Psychology. It's an amazing feeling to psychoanalyze someone, and you can start even just taking a simple psychology course in high school. It's wonderful to learn how our emotions and minds work :)

No one said it was great. Believe it or not, people are interested in the ways people think and that's why they go or want to go into it. Not just because it pays well and it does and will support you if you get a high enough degree. Everyone in each area or work (dentist, doctor, real estate, fast food, ect.) brags about it in a way or another, it's just going to happen.
I'm going to school for psychology.. why? so I can help people.

What is great is that it is the easiest Degree by far to obtain. So if Daddy will support you, you can be a college grad! It will not get you a job that will support a family.

Not even one one thousandth as great as being a ethologist. Go for science and do not sell your self short to social science.

I guess it's that you can pick a person apart. In a way, analysing can be fun!
