Psychology
A mind-and-behavior degree with paths into counseling (with credentials), education, research, HR-adjacent people care, and user research support.
Where this leads
The confusion, addressed honestly
Psychology students often claim therapist identity too early — or panic that nothing exists without a master's. Supervised counseling paths need proper credentials; meanwhile education, research assistance, L&D, and research ops hire ethical, documentation-strong grads. Show consent-aware notes and psychoeducation materials. Don't diagnose; do demonstrate professional boundaries. Campus and early-career screens still reward ownership stories over buzzword lists.
