"Psychology in general has taught me a lot and many people think that because I'm into psychology that I must be interested in going into a counseling/therapy field. I've discovered that psychology exists no matter where you go and it is an excellent major because of its diversity and it applies to fields such as business, marketing, public relations, education, etc. I find myself referring to what I learned in classes in the past or opening up a book from a course."
