Masters Program Cold Feet
Hi guys, I have been struggling to land on a graduate program/career for a while now. A bit of background: I (22F) am a 2025 graduate, I got my BA in Psych from Emory, and I work in NC as a BT (working toward RBT). Ive been working in ABA for less than three months but I really like what I do so I thought I'd just climb the ladder and get my MS in ABA (applied behavioral analysis). However, I am one of those people thats gets bored and antsy if I stay in one place for too long so I don't want to jump into this degree if theres not a lot of flexibility for me long term.
Some other careers I have considered recently
- Occupational Therapy (pediatric)
- Speech-Language Pathology
- Healthcare Admin
- Marketing Analysis
- any kind of certifications in medical sciences like phlebotomy, xray, imaging, sonography, etc.
- Higher Education
- I heavily considered Psych NP for a long time but came to terms recently that nursing/ interactive patient care is not for me
- School Psychologist
- Curriculum Developer
- Paralegal
As you can see I am all over the place... I think at the core of it all I really like data, science, i love studying the brain/neuroscience/psychology, and i love working with kids. Like I said bedside work is not for me, I like more computery work but I also like to have the option to move around and not just stay at a desk... I just need advice, am I just being picky and indecisive or is there really something for me that I'm just missing? I want to love what I do but I also want to make at least 60k even if not right away. pls help I have no idea what im doing.
