How can I figure out what I want to do after my Associates Degree?


I was previously in Nursing school- But I decided that wasn't for me- I'm in school to get my A.A Liberal Arts which I will be done with this summer... I will be 23 this summer so obviously im too old to go stay in a dorm in the fall...I definitely know I want a 4 year degree maybe in marketing or business? I just really have no clue what route I should take? How can I figure out what I want to do with my life...There's so many things I could do? I don't like math or numbers- I love talking and working with people- I don't like healthcare? Please give me some advice! Thanks~

Wow, my g/f graduated and got her Associates in Psychology. She transferred to an Ivy League, and she's double majoring in Psychology, Political Science, and she wants to get into International Affairs, because she had an International Business course in Community College. She had 4.0 GPA, and two letters of recommendation from Ivy League professors, so she was very lucky with those letters.

She's not math friendly, and she did have a bit of trouble with the Statistics, but otherwise Psychology is a good way to go, and Political Science is good too. The only thing is that you HAVE TO HAVE an internship for Psychology during your u-grad. Otherwise you graduate and you are lost. Psychology doesn't mean that you'll become a psychologist. A friend of mine finished Psych and he's working for a pharmaceutical company doing market research.

I don't know what else to tell you, just that if you don't like math, don't go into Computer Science, I'm doing CS, and it's not pretty for people "hostile" to math. lol


Good luck.

PS: Go to your schools career counseling and ask them. They should help you....

You could get a B.A. in Business, Human Resources or Management may be a good choice for you. Alot of Universties offer on-line courses and you do not have to live on campus to attend school. Alot of these business degrees share the same class requirements (ie. intro to business, business law...) so if I were you I'd start taking thoses classes first.

Go with your heart the same thing is happening to me and i am 24, but the good is i am like 3 credits away from a.a in psychology. I thought psychology wasn't for me at first my 2nd year and i tried many other avenues such as being a dental hygienist. But my true calling is being psychologist which everyone including my professors said i was made to do. And i have to admit i love psychology. So basically you have to find your passion and stick with it trust me i know how you feel.
