So far. I am not really quite there yet. I just started my post grad degree in criminology. This is my very first semester of my masters program. I did my under grad in physchology. Idea is to get into forensic phsychology. I do have some other options with those degrees if that doesn't pan out. Other than going to school and working on my degree I bartend part time and that is about it. I don't mind my current path. I'm very interested in the field and always have been.

Wow really seems like you know what you want to do in life

I do think it is a good career path for me. Hope I am right after all the time I have spent and will spend on it.

What would you prefer to do

[_Maya_]

I would like to get into forensic psychology if I can. There are some other avenues if I don't. I still have over 1.5 years of school left and then hundreds of hours of field experience before I have to choose a career path.

What is forensic psychology

[_Maya_]

There are multiple areas but it is mostly profiling why someone did something in a criminal case. Basically studying the psychology of criminal minds. The other side is treating convicted criminals. Understanding the rehabilitation.

I'm an ex convicted criminal lol

Oh thanks you just gave me an idea for my next ask, stay tuned lol

[_Maya_]

It would really depend on the crime whether a forensic psychologist would have worked on a case. They are usually reserved for very serious crimes. Homicide and stuff like that.

Lol will do.

Just posted it. Yeah my crimes aren't all that bad, did 5 and a half years. If I was convicted in America I probably would have done 20 but luckily the peniltys aren't as harsh in Australia

Alright I will take a look in a minute. A friend is putting up a funny question that I have a perfect reply for 😆

Haha ok sounds good

I fell into the emerging tech field and it's been very rewarding and challenging at the same time.

I enjoy it. It feels like solving puzzles every day and the pay is very good.

I wish I had started the tech path sooner. I did a business degree half to appease and piss off my mother. It was the worst motivation. I should've studied computing science. Business was a useless degree.

So I'm a forwarder and excavator operator in the pines. Been here for about 18 months. The pay is awesome. My only regret is not starting sooner

Very happy. I'm studying to be a teacher and can't think of a better fit for my personality to develop in the right direction for me and be part of a collective effort to make a difference and be part of something larger than myself.
