Someone please give me some advice. I'm a 20 year old attending

Community College is literally just your lower division, general ed classes with minimal classes actually relates to your "major."

Just switch majors when you transfer.

>It makes me sick to my stomach knowing that I'll land some shitty 20k job after I graduate
go to graduate school

>>17467599
Fuck off.

>>17467608
I can't switch majors because the University I'm transferring to requires me to take certain classes for my major. I already took them so I'm stuck.

>>17467616
So should I go to graduate school or law school? How risky is law school?

You do realize that MOST people switch degrees 2-3 times during their time in college right? You're not stuck.

You're still free to discuss with a counselor or the advisor for another major when you transfer. These classes you're taking pretty much amount to introductory courses before you get to register for upper division classes. All you have to do is take an introductory course for the new major. You'll probably be set back by 1 or 2 classrs AT MOST. Community college is just GEN ED.

As for "requires me to take these classes for my major," that's partially true. It's like they're saving a spot for you in psych because that's a shitty impacted major that they need to keep at a certain level of enrollment. Every one wants to get into an impacted major has to go through more hoops, but they have spots to fill in less impacted degree fields like the STEM stuff that you can easily occupy.

I switched majors 3 times during my schooling years (psych to English to Chemistry). It is not that hard nor is it a big deal. I mean fuck, I transferred to a university as am English major and switched on the day of my orientation.

If you still claim it's impossible, then you're either a slave to your defeatist attitude and self loathing, or you really don't want to switch majors and want to make excuses.

And how many years did it take for you to complete college?

>>17467699

6 years total (2 for AA/3 for BA/1 for credential).

And for the credential, you could only enroll in the program after getting a BA. And one year was spent going to school part time, so you could easily do it with a fill time schedule.

>>17467710
Ok I am not going to spend 6 six years in college. Id rather just get my psych degree and move on to graduate school. Switching degrees IS a big deal if you don't want to spend a decade in college.

Refer to >>17467720 for the timeline

But if you're intent on going down the psych road while realizing that you hate it, please continue. Spending 6+ years and getting into a mountain of graduate school debt for a job you don't like will be worth it.

But I do like psychology. It's just the fact that I'll get a low paying job that scares me.

Can I ask you how much you make a year?

>>17467739

Not a spectacular amount since I went into education, but science teacher job prospects are pretty secure. Currently at 60k a year but it goes up 1-2k every year I teach in the district.

I make about 20k more than my cousin, who has a masters in child psychology and works for a kindercare and my sister in law who has a PhD in geriatric psychology and who can't get a job unless it's in a research facility or as a nurse aid for alzheimer facility. I make about 25k more than her.

You will work for the rest of your life, probably 45-50 years until retirement age yet you bitch about going to school for 6. Get that out of your mind and make the worthy time and money investment early. I switched majors 90 credit hours into an education degree to STEM and couldn't be happier
