    Whats the rush, its not like theres any jobs out there at the moment. Or is it something in particular you want to do out of college?

    I really doubt there'd be much in the way of work experience, at least at undergrad lever (Open to correction).

    You do have labs and stuff, so it's probably not all theory.

    I'd just go with it OP. Don't worry about post-grads. and work experience before you've even started your under-grad. Of course there are a lot of options when you've finished your under-grad., you may even like the thoughts of going on to do a masters or a PhD and spending another few years in college. I wouldn't let the fear of spending an extra few years in college put me off what I wanted to do.

    You could always write a book on the psychology of people who like to point out spelling errors on the net.:)

    As jammy says, go for it, you're only young and even while doing your undergrad other opportunities and career paths will be revealed.

    Choose a course because you have an interest in it, don't let any other factors bother you. Don't worry when you start to think you have all the indicators of a sociopath - everyone thinks that when they first do psychology.

    ha ha thanks for that you know i think i might study the psychological impact on people being teased because they cant spell psychology!

    cheers for the advice just really stuck between doin this or OT, i know theyre different but they both involve helping people,both involve a challenge and both are courses i think i would be good at, any advice on picking one

    am seriously considering the tried and tested coin toss:confused::)
