    Its funny how it works, in your teens you want to be ruler of the world, rich and famous

    By mid 30s your just glad you dont have it as bad as some people you see

    hmm been to plenty of that sadly :(
    I thought about getting into clinical psych, but I think I might get depressed doing that.
    My major is Anthro so who effin knows what I'm gonna do with that.
    good thing I have my Freddie back up plan.

    you could always go for educational psych or counseling psych or hell you could even go into sex therapy. im playing the safe route right now and doing educational psych research this summer (thank you NSF) but in the fall im completely switching gears so i can have senior thesis more related to where i want to go. the woman taking me under her wing deals with some serious shit.

    are you interested in teaching at all?

    anthro is really interesting. do you have a minor? i would definitely check out minoring or double major in journalism since you seem to be into writing. i dont know if you plan on getting your masters but you could definitely do a more specialized anthro program like cultural anthro which would be badass

    actually if I got a master's I would like to do cult anth or linguistics. my minor is sociology right now but I'm thinking about switching or doing another. I do have wet dreams about journalism, esp. photo journalism for national geographic or something. To me that could be a glorious blend of anthro/writing, and I would get to travel.

    I think the study of perspectives from a scientific perspective is what interests me most about psychology. I'm particularly interested in how religion effects individuals and cultures.

    I do want to teach at some point in my life but I want to travel a lot first, hopefully touring music. But I'd love to teach social sciences to collegs students.

    I would like to be a successful actor. Mostly I want to be a voice actor, for video games or cartoons. That would be awesome.

    the cultural anthro and journalism is a nice route to take. i should hook you up with my madre :p she double majored in both and got her masters in anthro.

    my minor is sociology too. the beauty of it, at least to me, is you can basically take almost everything from psychology as a foundation and apply it to systems/units and examine that dynamic that is created when you go from the individual to a societal level

    i would also take a few social psych classes if you can. i just had a great seminar on stigma...it really gave me a whole new perspective on so many things

    i want to be a lot of things. right now im working on becoming a doctor, not sure what specialty yet though. i've already got a degree in molec biotech which is like drug design. i also do some freelance photography as im quite good at that. i've done some acting in advertisements and print adds and i'd like to pursue that further. i can also sing and dance pretty well, wouldnt mind doing something with singing. i just want to do as much as i can while im here and not regret anything!

    maybe i can be on a tv show like greys where i can use my knowledge and acting. or maybe just a tv doctor. hmm i should move to LA and get into plastics.

    yeh i have to admit ive never watched greys. but house is good.

    i can be the bitchy new international Dr who challenges houses status by being quite a lot like him with her cold blunt nature. ill have to die somehow, in a raging inferno maybe, or a fatal motor vehicle accident.

    I'm only interested in film directing.

    Their are other interests I have. Lots of 'em, but they all come and go.

    I'm majoring in international and comparative politics, but I'm not quite poitive what I want to do with it. I'd love to work in the state department or like CIA, but I've also considered various other jobs in the public and private (like maybe a media company or some shit) sectors.
