Hi Everyone,
I wasn't sure if this was the correct place to post this, but I tried. Anyway, in this upcoming fall semester I will be a senior with a major in psychology and minor in neuroscience. After researching careers with psychology, I learned that I will probably end up poor and hating my job, even if I pursue a masters and maybe even a doctorates. I know you can major in anything and still get into med school, but I'm not sure about me with the classes I've taken. I will be graduating in spring, but I really want to go into medical school, but I have not taken a chemistry course, calculus course, physics course, biology course (except for the foundation classes like 101 and 102, and some neurobiology classes). For my minor, I was not required to take chemistry, calculus, etc but it would have been different if I had majored in neuroscience. Should I stay in undergraduate an extra year and take those physics, calculus, chemistry and biology courses? Is that even possible after I've completed my major and minor? I'm so lost and my advisors are offering no insight and are very discouraging.
Basically, I'm asking what are my options? I would love to go into a health psychology field that pays well if you guys have any suggestions, or actually any suggestions at all. I'm dying.
