Thanks for the videos on psychology. I hope/plan on going for a major in criminal psychology after I graduate high school.

Thank you for some insight into this field John. Criminal Psychology has always been an area that has interested me and I am currently in the process of changing majors at University to focus more on this side of things. So you're videos on Psychology as a whole have given me a lot to think about. If you would have any tips for me I would certainly appreciate a PM/email, otherwise thanks again for the upload.

@TheElectricDreamer93 i'm registered to start next year, i'm so fascinated in psychology, there are so many different branches of psychology, personally im between becoming a social, sports, or criminal psychologist, leaning towards criminal, but a warning, it can be very competitive to get into certain programs, don't take it lightly, my sister just got her masters in school psychology, you wouldn't believe the effort she put in, you made a great choice bud, good luck on your career.
