What Can I Do With a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology?

We Answered:

There are different types of psychologists, such as:

• Biological: understanding the different parts of the brain and how it correlates to human behavior
• Cognitive: understanding human thinking
• Clinical: working with other people
• Developmental: working with children and see how their behavior progresses as they transition from kid to adulthood
• Industrial/ Organizational: working with companies to promote worker morale, boost sales of products, settle disputes, etc.
• Forensic: working with police and finding motives (trying to understand a criminal's behavior)

There are always a need for more research and more development. Science always evolves. It depends on what sub-field you want to go into. There are always a need for clinical psychologists because there is an increase in mentally ill people. You shouldn't major Psychology if you want more money. What about majoring in what you enjoy doing in life? If you like Architecture, stick with it.

Job Search & CV online - Any good suggestions?

We Answered:

A good resume and cv should focus on your achievements and ambitions. If you think your over qualified why not tone it down a little, such as emphasising another part of your cv.

Where can I go online to upload my portfolio to be printed, bound and shipped back to me?

We Answered:

try http://mypublisher.com/
I've seen a finished one that was done using them via Coscto.com. If you are a Costco member, you might get a better price, but not sure. It looked amazing! Not sure if pdf is the format they use, but check them out.

If the employer want to keep an unreturnable portfolio, maybe leave them with a less expensive version, cd, and also a business card with a link to your online portfolio.

Do I need a degree in Architecture to draw/design houses??

We Answered:

As far as I know you don't need any type of license to design and sell a house design..

that being said, obviously the plans need to be approved and stamped by either an engineer or a Architect.

I have built Timber frames in both Japan and Canada. Canada was by far the most strict. Plans need to be approved site by site. Even if its the same design.

In Japan the plans needed to be reviewed and approved by the citiy's engineer, which is strict but alot less painful.

As for selling your designs. If you want to approach it from a purely artistic point of view you can design houses and leave the engineering and structure up to the engineers..

cheers...

I need to find an architecture AND journalism college.?

We Answered:

If your girlfriend has a bachelors degree and journalism experience, she can consider the master's degree in communications with a concentration in journalism at the University of Washington, which also has an architecture program.

Otherwise, you might need to settle for two different nearby universities, or another university which has both programs, such as UC Berkeley.

This kind of situation is common among couples who have different academic interests. You are lucky to be just starting out and apparently in a position where neither of you already has a good job that might have to be given up if you move.

Your other soltution is that you enter the school of architecture while she gains professional experience in journalism if she does not have any. Gender plays no part in this suggestion. I make it because if she does not have the required prerequisites, she can obtain them while you start off in the architecture program which usually takes longer than the one in journalism or communications. You both may end up receiving your degrees at the same time!
