Hello everyone!
I’m currently a pilot in the Navy and am finally (after 10 years) nearing the end of my commitment. I studied aerospace engineering in college and took the only psychology class my school offered, abnormal psychology. I always planned on being a pilot but now that I’m about to get out of the military and am starting a family, the idea of not being around for big life events is a huge turnoff. The only other thing outside of aviation that I’m truly interested in and think I would enjoy doing, is studying the mind while also using that knowledge to help people. But… it’s a big jump and uncertainty is plaguing me.
How did you all know that a career in psychology was what you wanted to do? Any advice on books or online courses that can help decide?
Do you like your job? What does a typical work day/week look like?
Does anyone have any advice on how I could go about transitioning from a non-psychology bachelors into a psychology PhD program? I have my GI Bill but would like to use it as efficiently as possible.
Thanks!
