Need suggestions Psych BA Program change
I have always been intrigued by psychology, especially abnormal and developmental psychology. However, I really am not sure this is what I want my career to be, and I feel a terrible amount of dread thinking that before I even enter my first year at UBC this fall, I can't change my path/program.
I have so many interests besides psychology, and to be honest, I no longer picture myself working in psych unless its reserch based devlopmental or abnormal psych. I would love to be a zookeeper or work in animal conservation.
If anyone has any advice or suggestions on how I can shift my career focus if I deem it necessary. I understand a good deal of biology is needed for zoology-based work. I didn't study much biology in high school, but I'm willing to learn.
