Thanks for all the replies. I didn't realize how stressed I was until recently. I've had shoulder aches and neckaches all semester, and just since last week I had terrible pains in my jaw and bad migraines, which I found is caused by my newly-found bruxism. My doc told me all of my problems are probably stress-related. Now I'm starting to wonder if I really need some major time off. I can't seem to concentrate on my classes anymore. :-( So I've been asking around and looking at other options after graduation, and most grad students suggested that I take a research job in a big city or someplace. I'm more open to a 9-5 company job...I'm getting sort of sick of research! Of course, the job market these days isn't helping...:-( Anyone else have some suggestions for a undergrad with a psych degree? (I really start to regret my major now, too. :-( )

I'll be applying this upcoming fall, but I just can't seem to shake this sinking feeling that maybe I'm not ready for grad school. I'm doing my senior honors thesis and so far all is going well, except I just can't seem to concentrate on writing my darn thesis (too much procrastinating? :wink: ) and I don't know if I want to do more of this for 5+ years. As a psych major I feel like I don't have a good enough grasp of stats like my peers (I'm in an advanced stats class), which bothers me a lot. I thought I wanted to go into academia or research but now I'm having major second thoughts - I've been considering going towards a degree that's geared towards counseling or assessment than research. Or even just moving back home and getting a job that pays. Does/Did anyone else have these doubts before grad school? I feel like I'm so tired of school. Maybe it's just the mid-semester blues.
