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.

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!
