Choosing a program

[xSilentxNinjaX]

So I've been troubled and conflicted for quite some time now, and am unsure of what to do regarding graduate school, and I'm not completely sure what to get my degree in.

 

I received a B.S. is in Psychology, with minors in Education and Professional Writing. I have had an interest in Occupational Therapy for quite a while now, and I have also been considering perhaps going into Mental Health Counseling, Child Psychology, or Special Education. However, I seem to be unable to let go of my childhood dream of going to veterinary school. The later, however, seems extremely far-fetched, for I don't think I would make it through the difficulty of veterinary school, let alone be able to succeed in finding a job upon graduation if I were to pursue that path. 

 

Basically, is anyone willing to share their experiences on how they made their decisions to go into the fields and careers that they went into? I suppose it doesn't help that I'm extremely indecisive, and feel completely lost, so anything would help! I would greatly appreciate it. 

 

Thank you! =)

Well, maybe you can try occupational therapy and work with service/therapy dogs?

I suggest getting a masters if you are torn.

 

I was really torn too since my interests are VERY varied (computer science, biology, physics, chemistry, anthropology, evolution, philosophy). I actually found a field that incorporates most of these things! look into interdisciplinary research and get a masters if you aren’t exactly sure, that will let you lean more about various subjects before committing to a phd. I think the above advice is awesome... maybe look into something realted to service dogs or horse therapy stuff. Combine your interests!
