[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It appears as if your child might be oriented toward the subfield of cognitive psychology. Nonetheless, with respect to undergraduate study, an introduction to a range of topics, such as in clinical, developmental, evolutionary and social psychology and neuroscience may be beneficial. For such exposure, seek a sufficiently broad program with course offerings in these areas. Training in research methods and an understanding of statistics will be important irrespective of the subfield of particular interest.[/quote]

I attended a state flagship with a significant research program.  I intended a psych major during my sophomore year.  I was interested in research/academia.  I did cognitive psychology research on how memory works for a year with a prominent young professor.   The experience helped me to decide against the career.  I ended up becoming an economics major.  It turned out I was interested in social sciences broadly.  And also business vs. academia.

Over the years, I've noticed many psychology majors in the market research profession.  It is quite relevant.[/quote]
