Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    You can't make any money with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology.

  • How I responded:

    A Psychology degree is incredibly versatile and will prove useful even in careers outside of the counseling realm. It can provide you with interpersonal skills that are essential to working with others, research capabilities necessary for problem-solving, and training in verbal, non-verbal, and written communication that will ensure you are able to effectively deliver information both within and outside of your organization.
