Alright, this is a little bit complicated (for me, at least) just because I generally hate posting in this part of the forums. Yeah, that's the wrong way to start off one of these threads, I get it, but bear with me.
I am currently a Creative Writing major. Seems pretty logical--I write, some people say I write well, I enjoy it--but my issue is with the fact that I'm wary about the career path. I've been seriously considering becoming a college professor, but I'm not entirely sold on the idea and I feel like I may not do a good job, IF I were hired.
I'm also very interested in psychology and sociology: basically, if you've seen Lie to Me, you get an idea for the kinds of things that I like, and that I'm good at. I love sociological studies, I love examining the structures of relationships and the human psyche, and I'm incredibly interested in doing something where I could combine sociology and psychology into something worth while.
I guess my question is, what do I do? Do I stick with my current major, ride the storm, and hope? What kinds of jobs can I get with a Creative Writing Degree? Do y'all think I'd make an okay teacher, or should I switch to the sociological thing, try to do that despite an unclear job market?
Basically, any help or opinions would be appreciated, but anyone that's been a 'friend' on here had damned well better post <3
