5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for the sophomore Psych major, June 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Majoring in Psych?: Career Options for Psychology Undergraduates (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

Outstanding book. I bought this for my daughter who, against my better judgement, chose to be a psychology major at Madison. Before I gave her the book, I read the whole thing. I'm not nearly as worried anymore. This book provides excellent overview to what can be accomplished with a Psych degree.

This review is from: Majoring in Psych?: Career Options for Psychology Undergraduates (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

This book is a quick and easy to read friend to a psychology major. The authors direct you to other resources but give you all the basics you need to know. It reads like they've actually talked to psychology majors and know our concerns.

5.0 out of 5 stars The right book to start with, May 5, 2003

This review is from: Majoring in Psych?: Career Options for Psychology Undergraduates (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

I liked this book because it was short and easy to read and gave a great overview of careers, job options and graduate school. It's funny too. I had it assigned to me in a class and I didn't resell it!
