Answer 2

There really is little difference in the career sector between a BA and a BS. The main difference is whether you have an interest in more scientific coursework, which often fulfills a BS requirement, so don't worry about that so much. I agree that you should definitely follow a career path that best suits your interests. Keep in mind that this day and age, most people change jobs numerous times, and it is also common to change careers at some point. Also, career crystalization does not naturally occur until around 25 so don't fret. What you are going through is normal. It's just a stage of development. The best thing to do is to explore your options. Interview and job shadow people in all of these areas and find out what other options they may know of in these fields. My personal opinion is that a BA in Psychology and Anthropology will lead to few work options. These are generally fields that yield little pay with a bachelors level degree. A BS in Biology with a teaching credential is an option. Depending on the region that you live in, teaching can be a fairly decent salary, but only the Bio would be certifiable in most places. I used my psychology and sociology dual major to land a case worker role in a social work setting for awhile, but the basic bachelors levels skills and knowledge were not sufficient for me to do the quality of work that I wanted to do. I completed a counseling degree (bug your counselor, that's what they are paid for), a post-master's school specialization, and am looking into a Ph. D program for Public Policy and might use these all for running a community center or working abroad through the Peace Corps. The idea here is that your options are endless. Don't limit yourself now. I also loved Women's Studies, and American Culture at the university level. Use your electives in college to help you make these decisions that you are anxious about now. A liberal arts degree will get you into many entry level positions (i.e. marketing, sales, government positions, law enforcement, social service agencies.) Sometimes that experience is far more telling than book work and theory. Good luck with your search.
