Political science or psychology?

Reason being that:
- i feel that PS has quite similar skills to law and many PS students get to join debating contests and youth political organisations. Talking about opportunities to hone their written and oral communication skills which employers are seeking nowadays

- though i'm quite interested in organisational psychology, i realised that it requires Masters which i probably can't afford by the time i graduate from my bachelors

- as i last checked on several websites including PayScale, PS graduates are paid much higher than psychology grads at both entry and mid-career level.

- as someone who suck at math and sciences, the scientific components in psychology just turn me off :@

There are other reasons of course but it will be endless.

I'm happy for you! I like that there's people out there that find PS as a good educational choice with many career possibilities. That's why I chose it myself, along with my passion for politics, social issues, and international affairs. At the end of the day, you got to do what makes you happy and stimulates you.

I didn't realize focusing on sentence structure would solve any real problems that people have today.

But hey, if you need to correct people's grammar to make yourself feel better, then go right ahead.
