You have great timing, my friend. Recently I've been thinking about going into socialology (can't spell). I can feel that I can kinda read people (not their emotions, just their actions and kinda how they feel about something) and this might be something I may study and pursue (I'm not even in high school yet so it's a long ways away). I'm now lost on what I wanted to say here but I guess I'm asking, what's it like? What are the job options? What could I possibly do with my actions-thoughts thing? (I'm not trying to say I'm an expert in anything, I've just been thinking about it lately and I'm taking this opertunity to talk with someone in this field)

[/quote] For staters, though psychology and sociology are somewhat similar, they are two distinct fields. [quote]I'm now lost on what I wanted to say here but I guess I'm asking, what's it like?

The concepts keep my mind intrigued, though the textbooks can be a bit dull. It isn't the easiest field, and there is a lot of school that goes with it. You usually want at least a masters degree. There are a multitude of job options in the psychological field. There are, I believe, six different psychology major options at my university. For me, I hope to go into law enforcement as I said and catch evil people. There are clinical psychologists who work in hospitals. You can be a therapist, conduct research, go into sales, the list goes on and on. Since you are so young, there is not much you can do besides conduct research on different concepts on your own and doing well academically in school. Develop good habits and talk to your guidance counselor when you start high school. Hope this helped!

  • If you aren't in highschool yet, you are too young to be on this site. You should watch out for a ban if you are under twelve.
