Psychology is my passion, but I know it takes a lot of years, but I also enjoy computers and know I can do that but I'm scared that if I choose CIS I'll regret it later on for not choosing psychology, which is what I love to study. I know there aren't many opportunities with a bachelor's in psychology so I was planning to go for a master's also, but I know I won't be able to afford it without taking a loan and will take a long time and have heard that people have had high debt by the time they graduate. Also, don't you think psychologist earn a little for all the years they have to go to school where as someone in technology just has to get a bachelor's and can earn a lot. However, I also know that some psychologist do make a lot of money, but don't they have a phD or can someone with a master's also earn a lot. I am really passionate about psychology so do you think its possible to earn a lot if I try really hard and if I do how long will it take me to start making good money? I'm so confused which is why I think I should go into CIS, but think I'll regret it. I want to make a lot of money, but I also want to be happy since I'm going to have to do it for the rest of my life. Also, psychologist study rats and I do not like the sound of that, but I love to study about people and how we think and all that good stuff. Please help any answers will be greatly appreciated! Okay so If I go for psychology is the University of Phoenix a good univ. or should I go somewhere else because I heard it won't get me into an accredited program.

Well how about doing both! Focus for undergrad now and take classes in psych and cis during the summer and winter sessions where you can in addition to the regular semesters. It may cost extra money but you will have 2 degrees to work with in the end which will make you far more employable then many other graduates. After school you can do work in cis to put away money for getting a masters in psychology. I would recommend you look into a masters in organizational psych or industrial psych with having an undergrad in cis. With both degrees you could pioneer a new area of research or something. Good luck and work hard

Psychology... Go with your heart. I worked in a computing related industry and it (technology) moves so quick....I got burnt out. Psychology would be rewarding, and the basic foundation doesn't change over time.... With I.T. you'll be lucky to take a year off and still think your skills are relevant. It's forever changing, but if you truly get a kick out of Computing and the growth of the industry, along with the change it goes through year in year out, go for it. Me, i'd go with Psychology.

Follow your passion, psychology! The pay for CIS has declined over time because all it takes is training, and as more people go into it, the less value they are worth. By the time you finish a degree, the pay for CIS may have declined further, and if you don't like it, you might end up in a career you don't like for less pay. On the other hand, if you love your work, you can derive satisfaction with less pay, if that is what comes about. Start out with the plan to get a bachelor's degree, and then you can evaluate the opportunities as you progress. There is research money available that professors can use to support graduate students, so you might be able to get tuition support for your advanced degree, including MS and/or PhD. If you decide that is not for you, then there will still be opportunities in education, career counseling, social work, etc., that you might find fulfilling. It is difficult to plot out a career if your only goal is to make the most money. Life is long, and you spend 1/3 of it at work, so it is better to enjoy your work and make enough money to live on, rather than to hate your work and spend a lot of money trying to forget it during your little free time.
