<p>alright im completely clueless i dont know what iw ant to major in! im best at math! im really good at it and i actually enjoy it, im also very good at psychology. (DONT WANNA BE A TEACHER!!) i'm tryin to think of majors. can someone help me out??? engineering..psychology/psychiatry...so confused :/ IDEAS!! i want some pretty challenging majors so i can make $$ in the future but at the same time enjoy what im doin</p>
<p>I'm in the exact situation as you!</p>
<p>I'm good at math and love psychology. I also enjoy Biology, so I'm thinking about majoring in Biomedical Engineering. It's a good field to be entering into as I hear.</p>
<p>If you want to do something along the lines of a psychiatrist/family counselor, your best bet would be to get a PhD in clinical (?) psychology. There's two types of psychology and I believe clinical's the one which lets you work with patients, but I may not be right on that.</p>
<p>i heard about biomedical engineering! wut exactly is it?</p>
<p>From the Biomedical Engineering Society (<a href="http://www.bmes.org%5B/url%5D):">www.bmes.org):</a></p>
<p>Biomedical engineering integrates physical, chemical, mathematical, and computational sciences and engineering principles to study biology, medicine, behavior, and health. It advances fundamental concepts; creates knowledge from the molecular to the organ systems level; and develops innovative biologics, materials, processes, implants, devices and informatics approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, for patient rehabilitation, and for improving health.</p>
<p>If you want to work with patients providing some kind of psychological treatment you would need to get a degree in either clinical or counseling psychology. There are many different branches of psychology beyond the applied disciplines of clinical including cognitive, social/personality, organizational, human factors, etc. Math is very handy for most branches of psychology because of the advanced statistical models used in psychological research. Specialization in psychology only begins in graduate school so undergraduate preparation should focus on a well rounded academic transcript and involvement in some type of research as an undergraduate. If you are looking a the clinical area some type of internship experience to see if you enjoy the mental health field would be useful.</p>
