8. In what ways has your internship inspired you to think about college? Have you discovered new colleges that you are interested in attending? Have you learned about new courses to study or majors to pursue?
Every day at internship I think about college...and see college, hear college, touch college, breathe college, even smell college. That's because my internship is at the University of California, San Diego. I didn't really "discover" UCSD, but I am interested in attending and I definitely will apply here. From talking to the undergrads and researchers, I've given consideration to studying Clinical Psychology, Neuroscience, Behavioral Studies, or all three. The field of psychology is so broad that there are many specific things that can be pursued within it. I've gotten a look at the three majors mentioned above as well as psychometrics, cognitive and analytical psychology, and many other subfields. After this internship, I think about college as a workplace as well as a school. This Center and many others on campus conduct revolutionary research and often discover more than private research centers. Also, it's a great place for college students to work as paid interns, which gives internship credit and money! How great is that?
But, seriously, I think that college is the gateway to opportunity. If I go for my Master's, my options are many and I could end up as a researcher or whatever I want to be.
