I love biology/medicine, but I am also interested in psychology and psychological theories. I have been told that I would make a good counselor, as I am a good listener and have good logical reasoning skills. I am wondering what I should major in, as I am planning on starting back to school in the spring. I would love something where these two fields of study converge, if possible. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks!

Well, there are some paths you could follow where the two would definitely converge- down the road. You could decide to further your education and become a psychiatrist, or you could go on to get your Ph.D in Biological/Physiological Psychology and you could be a researcher and/or professor of this subject. Even if you decided to become a counselor, having a background in biology is good so that you can help clients understand the physical components of their diagnoses. I think I would go into university and double major in both Psychology and Biology.

You could get both a Psychology and a Biology degree (this option presuppose more years of study though) or think about Physiology which is something in-between..It works on both Psychology and Biology..

Im starting my major in biology and minor inp-sychology next year hopefully :). soo we both love the same lol

anyway, how i decided it is:

do you prefer studying the mind and behaviouir?

or

do you prefer studying the body and functions?

also career wise,
pscyhology is good for many careers.

biology major is good for a few careers and great for med school.
