Typically universities and colleges do not require that you declare before the second semester of your sophomore year. You should check your school's registrar page to confirm their specific deadline.

{ "text": "<s> [INST] How closely related are jobs in the field of Sociology to jobs in Psychology? They seem to deal with similar subject matter, so I'm wondering if that also means that occupations in the two fields also overlap, and if so, how much? #psychology #jobs #careers #sociology Keywords: sociology, occupations, psychology, careers, jobs[/INST]\n<p>You are right, they both seem similar and do overlap in some ways but they are very different. Psychology is very science based particularly biology. I think its easier to see the differences when you see the courses offered for each of the majors. Sociology is more of the exploration of life (Sociology of Law, Sociology of Gender, Sociology of Race etc.) Psychology courses are more focused on the mind and the science behind how it functions (human development through the lifespan, memory and cognition, abnormal psychology etc.) At the college I work at psychology majors are required to take two science courses with labs whereas sociology majors are not. A lot of the students who major in psychology in the school I work at usually go on to pursue nursing because the pre-reqs for nursing fit very well with the psych major; however, this is not to say that a sociology major couldn't go into nursing. They could but the science courses would most likely be electives vs a part of the major. If a psychology major and sociology major were both interested in a Masters in Social Work, they can both apply. For a Masters in Psychology for most schools the student would have to have a psychology background but that does not mean they have to be a psychology major. They can have a minor in psychology and be eligible to apply. Psychology programs usually require more research experience. </p>\n<p>As far as careers, majors do not dictate what your profession will be. I think it comes down to which one you are more interested in and excel in because ultimately if you want to become lets say a therapist, you can do either one.</p> </s>" }

Enjoy life and be a kid. All the other answers here were excellent. Get a college degree, regardless of what career you pick. You can't go wrong with education. The more you know, the better equipped you are to make better decisions. \"Knowledge is power\". Remember, sometimes you pick the career, and sometimes the career picks you.\nI was very lucky, early in my life, a Mig 17 flew over my kindergarten and I was hooked, aviation was for me. I instantly knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. At first I wanted to be a military pilot, but due to unforeseen events, that did not happen. I was very good working with my hands and enjoyed all mechanical things, so I became a mechanic. Life has been good to me.\nAviation is a huge field that has a lot to offer. A job is something you have to do, so you can have the opportunity to enjoy other activities. There are very few people that say \"Thank God its Monday\". That is why your job should be something you enjoy. If you are mechanically inclined, and you like working with your hands taking things apart and fixing them, then maybe you are a mechanic. If you like electrical and computers, then maybe you are an avionics specialist. If you like flight simulators, driving,and operating machinery, you might be a pilot.\nYou need to be honest with yourself and check what your strengths are, and what interests you the most, then you can start to research and pursue a career. Also, try not to be affected by the successes of others. Create your own path and be your own man.\nGood luck</p> </s>" }

In school you are responsible for your grades and you are largely a professional student. Some students work during college, but most work part time and not full time jobs. I would say that there definitely is an adjustment period between school and entering the workforce. It may seem obvious, but there are different expectations for work vs school. Personally, I am expected to perform well, make an impact, and go above and beyond at my workplace. If I want to get promoted, I need to show drive, that I am willing to work, and that I am a team player who works well with others. Being a high performer is what ensure promotion. Slacking off is something that I would do occasionally in school, but it is not something that looks good at work. You are going to have more responsibilities once you graduate and you need to be able to balance these responsibilities and strive to do the best you can at work. </p><p><br></p><p>Also, once you are working you are going to have to learn to be financially independent (if you haven't already). Paying bills, scheduling appointments, paying rent, buying groceries are all things you are going to have to do and nobody is going to remind you to do so. You will have to hold yourself accountable as your parents aren't living with you anymore. </p><p><br></p><p>While all of this may seem scary, I assure that it is not. Becoming independent and working hard is part of life. Think about this transition similar to the transition from high school to college; at first it may have seemed totally overwhelming and incomprehensible, but it time you learned to adapt and have an enjoyable college experience. </p><p><br></p><p>I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck!!</p><p><br></p><p>Best,</p><p>Austin </p> </s>" }

But with that disclaimer -- YMMV, as they say -- I'll give the answer I give my students. The good news is that yes, you will likely be able to study what you really want in life. In general, unless you find yourself being interested in something generally considered useless, people simply tend to be really good at things they really like. There are very, very few human activities that involve nothing of value to anyone. I tell my students that if they are interested in something, they'll likely want to spend time doing it, will get better at it than average, and be able to convince other people to support that activity. Like giving them a job or money. And if you're good at something, you'll likely make more money at it. Also, note \"Parkinson's Law\" wherein the needs increase to fill the available resources. In this case, you'll spend what you earn and you'll tailor your lifestyle -- usually, ideally -- to meet your income.

I think pretty much every state has a multiple choice examination (the MBE) and an essay portion ( where you have to write multiple short essays). I know that Texas also has a short answer section as well. I think the vast majority of states, including New York, have bar exams that last for two days. Texas, California, and I think Utah have bars that last for 2.5-3 days. Since all the exams last for so long you have to know the correct answers (as best as you can remember) and how to pace yourself so your mind does not get tired during the exam. Just like any other test you take you will definitely want to take lots of practice exams. You will also want to invest in other books called supplements to help you grasp legal concepts. </p>\n<p>While the bar exam is challenging just know that if you work hard you can definitely pass the bar and become a licensed lawyer in whichever state(s) you wish to practice.

I thought much the way you did when I was beginning college, however I was discouraged from doing dental hygiene as these programs are often competitive and want graduates who plan to stay in the profession of dental hygiene. In other words, they did not want to accept students into dental hygiene degree programs that did not intend to continue in the profession of dental hygiene. A BS in dental hygiene will not fulfill requirements for dental school.\nPre-requisites for dental school are similar to prerequisites for medical school. Lots of science, biology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology, physics, microbiology, biochemistry, and often courses that prepare you for dental school entrance exams. As for the school you choose, dental school is expensive, state schools tend to be more economical and you should look into these options. Dental school is very competitive and it's important to apply to multiple schools to increase your chances of acceptance. If you are sure that dental school is the goal, many students begin applying their junior year of college for acceptance after 4 years of college.<br>\nI had to work for most of my undergraduate education, but when in dental school, I had little time to hold even a part time job. Although dental hygiene skills would be valuable in your dental school experience, it may delay your entrance into dental school. I would advise that you observe both positions to determine which is the best fit for the lifestyle you choose. Dentistry has many benefits, I have fulfilled both positions, dental hygiene and dentist, I prefer dentist, but it comes with a great deal of responsibility and liability that not everyone is comfortable with at times.<br>\nBeing a dentist has immense rewards, but the profession has a fitting responsibility that justifies those rewards.</p> </s>" }

Attend your professor's office hours, use the Writers' Center if you need to, ask older students who have been through the process at your college/university for advice, and find a mentor if possible. Do not be afraid to ask and seek help when you need it! College is not easy, but it becomes a lot easier when you have a team supporting you.\n\nPicking up a hobby or extracurricular activity that you enjoy also helps. \n\nAlways remember your passion when things get tough!

Tell a story that clearly represents who you are and what's important to you. The goal of the essay should be to let the reader in to your life. If you can do that in a genuine and meaningful way you'll be considered, I promise!

I researched and talk to others but didn't really receive any great advice. How can you make this decision? #travel #maturity #hardchoice #college #college-advice #gap-year Keywords: gap, college, start, travel, advice[/INST]\nIf you're torn between a gap year and starting college, you may want to consider starting college, but planning to study abroad your sophomore year. This would allow you to start college, but you'd still be planning towards an experience in the ballpark of the gap year. You can even do multiple countries during the same year. During my sophomore year of college, I did the fall semester in France and the spring semester in Spain. I took two months in between semesters and traveled to 11 different countries in Europe. I don't regret going my sophomore year rather than my junior year. A couple of items to note that may influence your decision: 1. Some colleges require that you have a certain number of credits completed before you can study abroad. Most of the time, these credits equal the amount you would typically have as a junior. If you're transferring in dual-enrollment credits, you're ahead of the game. (That's actually how I was able to study abroad my sophomore year.) Again, this does vary by university, so it's definitely something you'll want to check out. 2. Do you have the financial means to support yourself during your gap year if you choose that route? Are you going to get a job or do you just want to travel? If you just want to travel, it can get very pricey, even if you set yourself a hard budget. The advantage of doing study abroad while you're in school is that all of your government aid (loans, grants, etc) is not affected, which means that you can actually use your same loans to pay for an apartment, buy food, etc. Depending on where you end up studying abroad and how well you budget, you could end up with money that you can put towards your next semester instead of having to spend it all on one costly semester in the United States. This depends heavily on the program, but it's definitely something to consider. \nStudy Abroad programs are available for almost any major and they're always an asset on your résumé. Many of them are flexible. If your goal is to travel as much as possible, look into a \"Semester at Sea\" program or something similar. These programs allow you to travel to multiple countries while still completing coursework. Like I mentioned before, there are so many options, so if you feel like you're ready to start college, you may want to start, but start looking into study abroad programs as soon as possible so that your adventure will be waiting for you! </s>" }

There are exceptions of course. There may be courses where you will learn about research - what it is, the different ways in which it's conducted, the research process, etc. But you will probably not have to actually conduct any research of your own - meaning you won't go out and collect data and analyze that data. You will write papers where you will use sources and argue a specific point. But that's writing - and not really \"research\". Course catalogs - many of which are online - can be viewed to see what courses you will take in a specific degree plan and an overview of what the course is about. They don't show the specifics like a course syllabus does, but you can get a general idea about most of your courses that way. If you want to go to medical school, you'll probably want to look at getting your undergraduate degree in biology or chemistry - or one of the sciences. So you will learn about the research process in those courses. Some students WANT to be involved in research so many colleges have Undergraduate Offices of Research opportunities that help students find research experiences. Many medical school admissions offices look favorably on students who have research experience. The article below discusses the benefits students can get from being involved in research.
