How do I mix my love for writing with the degree I'm getting in psychology?

I'm good at writing and want to see if it would work with my career. #college #career #psychology #college-major #interviews #writing

Thank you comment icon Wow, I love writing! I have been thinking of doing whatever my major will be while having a minor in Creative Writing. Due to the fact that so many people can publish books or any types of writing- but can be unsuccessful in getting publicity. It's more of a hobby that I love rather than something I want to spend the rest of my life doing. Although it wouldn't be that bad if I do! Tiffany

Keith’s Answer

Vera, with psychology, you could blog, you could do a lot of research if you're into technical writing, or you could write for a social services magazine.

Hi Vera! You could always become an author and write self help books or books on your expertise in the field.

Linda Ann’s Answer

With an advanced degree in psychology, you could become a science writer for The NY Times or any of many other legitimate news outlets. Such a career could lead to writing books for the lay population; Daniel Goleman has made such a career for himself. Check out the books he has written at either amazon or Barnes & Noble. He has a number of Ted talks as well.


Good luck with your future career!
