I don’t want to major in Psych but I like what I learned…

In Psych you learn….

Why people behave the way they do

Why people sometimes do bad things

Understand your friends and family better

Build stronger social skills

Train your dog

….. You can apply this and MUCH more to your future career no matter which field you choose.
