I majored in Psychology just because it seemed like an interesting thing to study. I still like reading about it. However, I never planned to be a psychiatrist or counselor of any kind. Unless you have a very specific idea about what you would want to use your psychology degree for, it's not very practical. Also, a bachelors degree in psychology doesn't qualify you for anything; you have to get advanced degrees to be a psychologist, counselor, or psychiatrist.
I absolutely love what I do. In order to be successful in the area of cognitive experimental psychology you have to be dedicated and passionate about what you are studying. The best thing about this area is that if you find a good professor to work with you can stduy whatever interests you. Usually you can work when and where ever you want to as long as you get your work done. The best thing for me is that I get to wake up every morning and be excited about going to school because I love it so much. Just the thought of discovering or figuring out something that no one has ever thought about before is awesome. The only con is that you really have to be passionate about it because while you are in school you dont make that much money.
