hello all, this is my first post so please if i do something wrong u can correct me. ok here we go.
i started my college career in a community college. my goal then was to get into a better school obv. so i got into binghamton university 2 years later. i had to choose a major, so i chose econ bc i took 2 econ courses in cc and i thought it was cool. as i went into binghamton, econ was WAY too hard for me. i couldnt do it. i was failing. so i had to make a decision, i decided to withdraw from those courses and switch my major to psychology. the reason why i picked this was bc i took 3 psych courses in cc and i thought it was really interesting. also being the fact that i was behind in credits due to half of them being transfered. i chose psych so i wouldnt be WAY behind. fast forward to this coming year, my last year.
im 22 years old, going to graduate with a B.A. in psych in spring 2016. unfortunately, i dont want to continue studying psych after i graduate. my real passion is technology. i love everything about it. the advancements, app developing, softwares. more of hands on kind of stuff since i have very poor reading skills. my resume sucks cause every summer since i started college i had to have knee surgery due to a torn ACL. i have no internships cause of my knee. when i graduate the only thing i will have is a psych degree, and i wanna do technology? i feel like im in a bit of a pickle. ive been talking to people, guidance counselors, but still i need more guidance.
i guess what im asking here is did anyone have the same situation as me or graduated with a psych degree and did something completely different and how? the one thing i want to do for the rest of my life is working with technology, i know thats very broad but thats also why im posting this. i need ideas, in depth advice on technology and how to pursue it with a psych degree. ive been researching a lot so please dont say that. this post is part of me researching IMO.
i dont know where to start at all. i have to have another surgery in december so i cant intern during the winter. my hands r tied and i really need some guidance/experience with this.
sorry for the long post, and thank you for your help
