Oh teaching😬. You guys really decided to tap into the four horsemen of low paying jobs huh. Here's hoping things get better for you guys.

Psychology is fun. It's the right amount of challenge and interest to keep my unfocused brain hooked. If i did go to grad school i would go into cognitive psychology and potentially get a PhD to do research. The brain is just so fascinating, and being able to immediately apply what you learn in class is what makes it even better.

If I however decide that i don't want to go to grad school, I'd most likely go into market research - all things being equal. It's the most sensible application of my love for research and problem solving. I'd probably have to get some certifications, but i think it's worth it, and pay is not too terrible after I get a few years of experience. I guess i just have to determine what i want in life. Do i want to be confined to the four walls of an institution for decades or work a normal job.

Why is it that you were never able to stick to one job? Also, what programme (if you went at all) did you go to university for?
