Which degree route would be best?

[allvia]

I've finally kicked my speed up a notch and once this round of classes is over, I'll be done with my Gen Eds soon. I've been getting depressed again and almost went back on my meds, and then I realized the root of the issue. I'm getting close to having to decide on a major. The idea of going through with the TESU BSBA is eating away at me because it's not what I want. I really want a psychology degree but I just thought that the BSBA would give me a better chance at finding my first stable job. I've read threads on here of people complaining about their psych degree because of all of the job options it rules out. I don't quite know what I'll do with it yet, but I know that I want it. Would it be a foolish decision? I don't want to feel stuck, but I think I'd feel that way about a business degree too. I'm really not feeling great about any of it.

Study what you enjoy and what interests you - that time is never wasted, and in the end you will have a bachelor degree; that alone opens many doors (for all ages) that would not be opened to you otherwise.  The only thing about a psychology degree is that better paying jobs in the field will require that you continue on to a Master/PHd level, but the same could be said about most degrees.   As is often said here "the best degree is the one you complete".   Plus I think it was just posted recently that the BA in Psychology at TESU can now be completed through alternative methods (there had been a course or two that would have been traditional college course), this makes it as affordable as the BSBA (which is often why so many here choose that route).

Also, if you're really concerned about being able to 'prove' out some business skills/knowledge then you can always through on a ASBA in addition to your BA in Psychology - there are plenty of 'free' electives in the BA program as to not add more courses/classes; so no extra cost and it would only result in a more well rounded education for your resume.
