should i change my major from chemistry

should i change my major from chemistry?
see i am a undergrad chem major currently and i am not really interested in it ... i have no passion to pursue a career related to it so i was thinking of changing it to physcology or nursing. i am interested in learning about the mind and how it works but i am not sure about what kind of job i can get with a graduate degree in physcology. i live in canada so i am not sure what the chances of me gettin a job is after.?? or should i do a double major in chem and physc?

I think it's kind of hard to get a job in Psychology with just a bachelors.... If you want to major in Psych you should go for a masters at least. A double major might be good if you are interested in chemistry at all and want to work with, for example, chemical effects on the brain, chemoreceptors, etc. It's up to you, ultimately.

It's only you can decide what's best for you. Take time and think real hard to find the answer. In my opinion, the best for your future career is if you can do a double majors. Good luck to whatever you're decided. Best wishes!!

if youre interested in the mind and how it works you should try looking into biopsychology or neurobiology. like a previous poster said, getting a job w only a psychology BS will be difficult, so graduate school should be in your future. what you do with your degree depends on what you want to do for the rest of your life. you can do research and publish papers/books. you can teach it. or you can work in social fields, ie. counselor, social worker. you can also get your md and become a psychiatrist. its all up to you. good luck!
