Oh. Because, you know, it's not like I already have a high-paying job in business management already, and am taking psych to further myself intellectually.

Any non-simians on this board who can help me out?

Psychologists don't know anything. I could enroll as a psychologist and my patients wouldn't know the difference.

hint: I've already done this.
tip: psychology is a useless degree

>implying all psychologists are clinical psychologists/

Linguistics would be far more useful I think, especially for someone in the business world with a talent for learning languages. If you REALLY wanna double major (which always sounds like a good idea but almost never is) maybe look into anthropology? From a purely intellectual point of view I find linguistic anthropology facinating.

>>4208767
>implying you're not a retard for even thinking about what you wrote in the OP.

>>4208786

>retard

Explain to me why?

>>4208788
because it is not scientifically nor intellectually fulfilling to study those things.

>>4208789

As opposed to...?

>>4208790
As opposed to topology, analysis, fourier optics, etc

OP you made a mistake mentioning psychology in here. A lot of people here seem to view psychology as a "shit tier" major. But really you just should ignore them.

I am a Psych major at a uni in Brisbane (although I am transfering to a BBiomedSci to do Neuroscience/Pharmacology). Expect a lot of memorization, especially in the beginning classes where they generally throw a whole lot of information in an attempt to broadly cover most aspects of psychology in only two courses (usually). Also learn to write lab reports. You will do plenty of them if Melbourne is anything like my uni.

First year classes are alright, I found them kind of boring, and there will be a lot of wannabe psychologists in those classes but if you have any sort of a brain you should do those classes easily.

>implying that neuropsychology or cogntive psychology isn't scientific.

>>4208797
>implying this has anything to do with what OP wanted to study

>>4208796

Were you able to transfer into BioMedSci during your Undergrad?

This interests me. However, I did not complete the prerequisite subjects for BioMed or Sci in high school...

>>4208799
>Implying you know which part of psychology OP wants to study

>>4208800
I should be able to get in. Have to wait for mid year entry, however I have the gpa to get in. Currently doing long distance courses to complete HS class requirements. Maths B and Chemistry.

If not Ill be doing a BS majoring in Biomed

>>4208801
>implying "psychology/linguistics" isn't clear enough.
At this rate, OP could even be a woman.

>>4208805
Just because they are doing a double major doesn't mean they are connected. However you could easily go into research in neurolinguist with a psychology/linguist major. You have no idea.

>>4208810
neurolinguistics/psycholinguistics

Bump.

>>4208805
I've always wondered, what gives you raging little cunts the idea that you're entitled to an opinion on a subject you obviously have no clue about?

>>4208835

>implying I don't have a Phd in neuroscience, lecture and conduct research in the field.

>>4208835
Didn't you hear? They are all geniuses who are going to get PhDs in maths with 300k starting and are going to discover something life changing and go down in history.

>>4208846
Oh really? Discuss the role of gamma oscillations in perceptual binding, given the distributed nature in the cortex of basket cells.

OP left?

Actual neuroscience major?

>>4208835
It's simple: I don't need your approval to do whatever the fuck I want, especially on the Internet. And I've never been as happy as I have been since the moment I understood that.

>>4208851

I do not believe in gamma oscillations and do not accept their role in modern neuroscience

>>4208862
I'm not denying shitposting isn't your right, but what I am saying is that your opinion counts for absolutely fuck-all. Because you are an idiot.
>>4208861
Yup.

>>4208870
I am far from being an idiot, deal with it.

>>4208868

>>4208872
Your posts here today beg to differ.

>>4208872
Well you sound like a complete idiot at the moment.

>>4208881
>>4208872
you guys are bothering to answer, which proves I'm noteworthy. I'll remember that as a good moment of my life, rage if you want.

>>4208885
Only an idiot would fail to see the difference between being humored with a response, and being noteworthy. And at least use your trip consistently.

>>4208885
To be honest. Im laughing at your arrogence and stupidity. But hey, if you view this as a sweet moment in your life, then go ahead, it makes me laugh even more.

>>4208870
Would you recommend neuroscience as something to major in? I'm tossing up my options between genetics and neuroscience as those two have always interested me, and have been asking people who actually have majored in those subjects to get a clue in what it would be like.

>>4208896
I'm happy this makes you happy too. I'm sorry, I gotta go tame the people of your country, I'll come back later.

>Guy thinks being mocked is a moment in life worth remembering

Your life must really, really suck.

>>4208905
I'll just ignore your stupid comment.

>>4208900
It depends on what interests you. Personally, I fucking love it. It gives me all the intellectual satisfaction and gratification I could ever want. Career-wise it is a little bit limited, but for me that's not problem since I know I want to do the academic thing for the rest of my life.

>>4208912
Just fuck off already.

>>4208920
U mad, brah?

>>4208916
See I have no problem with doing the academic thing. Apprently I am quite suited to it. So that isn't a problem. And I do want something intellectually satisfying which is why I have been considering it and looking into it because the brain is something which has always facinated me.

>>4208932
In that case I would highly recommend cognitive neuroscience. Given the fact that you are considering studying psychology (assuming you're OP) it seems reasonable to say you have an interest in cognition, and how it relates to the brain. Hard-core cellular neuroscience won't teach you as much about how cellular functioning relates to behavioral phenomena etc., so that might be something worth considering.

>>4208942
Not OP.

However I do find psychology interesting, and was thinking Cognitive neuroscience already. Though I will wait until I actually begin doing the neuroscience classes to actually decide. Something else could perk my interest. But thanks for the tip.
