I'm having a HUGE identity crisis and I need to decide now.

Education

or

Psychology

Psychology.

Education if you actually want a job in the field you study in after graduating (without years and years of graduate school). Minor is psych.

She's been planning on grad school all along, from what I gather.

Yeah, well if I do psychology, I want to do relationship counseling and human sexuality studies. But I'm beginning to not like psychology... but I love my sexuality classes.

I haven't taken a single education class, I just work as a teacher now, and have for the past two years. I'm even tutoring in my free time now, plus the church nursery and what not.
This is why I have to pick now, I'm already looking at an extra semester if I change now.

I stand by Education with a minor is psych. Most graduate schools will accept a minor in psych if you decide to go to graduate school for psych. It seems like you're really good with kids and enjoy being a childcare teacher. A bachelor's in education gives you a secure, decently-paying job (Texas teachers in the better school districts start at about 35k a year) with the flexibility to go into psych again, if you would like to.

Psychology. But, in the end go with your heart. Just think of how sucky it would be to teach a bunch of brats all day, ew..and teachers don't get paid shit.

I work as a teacher now. I have been for awhile. I worked with two year olds for a year, now I'm a nanny, I work at a church nursery and tutor now. I actually like the brats.
