So, I've been having a hard time picking a major. I've never been the kind of person, even as a kid, to know what, "I want to be when I grow up". I'm really into Psychology and I want to help people.

I've flip-flopped between getting a degree in Psychology and Social Work the past two years I've been in college. I've been sticking with Social Work because its pretty much the same as Psychology when licensed, and I wouldn't have to go to medical school.
The university in my area doesn't offer Social Work, though. It's a huge college, too, so it seriously sucks that they don't have it. The pre-reqs for its Psychology program require you to get a B or higher in Pre-Calc (w/ Algebra and Trig). I got a C, which shot that option out the window. Its not like I didn't try, my professor just had a /really/ weird way of teaching, and it didn't work with me.

I was going to go to a different university, but would require me to move in a year. I really don't want to move. My SO has a job here, which right now is only an internship but it might carry over into a legit job. I also don't want to have to pay all the moving fees, that would be quite hefty, in order to move all my crap 200 miles away. ._.

Instead, I decided to check out the School Counseling program at the university. I think being a School Counselor would be awesome, because you get salary and all the vacation time schools have (so I would get to travel, which is something I've always wanted to do) & benefits, since I'd be working at a school. Plus, I'll get to help kids (hopefully) and it won't be as intrusive, as say a Social Worker or a Psychologist who might be working with the same person for years. Its only a Masters & PhD program, but apparently I can get an undergraduate in anything and still be able to get into it (although Psychology, Sociology, or Education are the most helpful undergrad degrees for it).

The issue is, I don't like doing research or dealing with statistics, so I don't know if I'd enjoy Sociology, which is basically like pure research. ._. I'm also not sure how an Education degree would really /help/ me in becoming a School Counselor. Psychology is really the only one I could see being incredibly helpful, but I already screwed myself over for that.

Meh, the struggle is real. ._.
Sorry for the venting, lol.
