I didn't have a choice. I was told that Psych is a science, therefore the BS. I would have LOVED to have skipped some of those math classes. A lot of people think that Psychology is an easy major- it really isn't. Not when you figure in Statistics and Research Methods.

I know! Thank you for that! I studied a lot and wrote tons of papers for psych so to say it's easy is bullsh*t.

I'm the president of the Bo Bice Fan Club.

Ahem...ok, I'm a pharmacist, really. I work part-time in a tiny hospital. Boring, but great $$!

Unless you do online classes! My old college UMASS now offers tons of bachelors through online classes and psych is one of them. What a way to get an easy degree.

Kudos to the two of you.

'Tis true, it's a great career for a working mom if you can find decent hours in a tiny hospital, like me.

But working for the public in a drug store sucks!

People are mean.

Thanks for the kudos, that was sweet.

Bridgewater had a writing requirement for ALL classes so I had to do papers in everything I took. Good thing is, I can write. Bad thing is, I'm a procrastinator!

Writing a 20 pager over night is very stressful and not recommended.

That's when I write my best stuff, under pressure.

If I start something early on, I have a tendency to go a little overboard and I nitpick at everything until I think it's impeccable. I love to write, though.

I think everyone knows what I do for a living (because I come here and bitch about it frequently) but we can also add voiceovers to that as well

I've been asked to record a voiceover for the salon instead of them hiring someone as they usually do (still not sure if i'm getting paid or not but I sure wouldn't mind adding that to the resume). Aside from that, it's looking like TCNJ junior come this fall...we shall soon see!

Right after high school I worked as a pharmacy tech, and I couldn't believe how rude some people were.

I am a family law attorney and part-time antiques dealer.

Yeah, my class friend was saying he could get his whole degree online from Oregon State.

I'm not sure that it would be any easier, though. Anyway, it sure sounds convenient. I bet you couldn't get a P.E. degree that way, though. Hmmm.

I hear you. You're forced to "let things go" when you have a finite number of consecutive hours ahead of you. It's weird though because I'd finish a paper, and it would be good and thorough but I would never be able to tell you about it, I'd have to say "read the paper".

I love to write too. Um, I guess that's not really a surprise given the number of posts I have here.

I want to take the time to do more creative stuff though.

Well, they're sick, and you're taking their money. But yeah, people suck. I worked with the public for years and years, no thanks.

Thanks- I was 36 when I graduated and it really was a monumental event for me- I worked my ass off. I'm not sure about online degrees- especially for a degree in something you have to go to graduate school for (like psychology). Oh wait, I just realized you did the little "roll eyes" face. Ok.

And the whole writing papers the night before they're due? That would be me. Buy I always did so well on papers, I figured the positive reinforcement is what kept me in my procrastination world. The ONLY paper I didn't do that way was my Senior Seminar paper, and that was 36 pages.
