Helping people overcome the chains that bind them, or prosecuting the 'bad people'. From your comments (that I've read), you seem to be a person who enjoys helping and empowering people. The psych route seems to be more along what you've posted, but hey... I don't know you. Strength, courage and good fortune to you!
Thanks!
Actually, I've been leaning towards prosecutor. There isn't a lot of security in the psychology industry. Jobs as a clinical psychologist are very scarce, and it's incredibly hard to get into the Ph. D. program alone. Besides that, I originally wanted to join the police force, but having seen the effects of that second-handedly (my aunt and uncle both work for the LAPD), I don't know if I could handle that kind of stress and hours, so I opted to go to law school because it's certainly a doable future full of excitement and an ever-changing atmosphere.
