Dustin:
Go to your counselor at school, and ask them how to map
out a plan for you to enter jr. college. The first two years of your AA degree are the same corriculum you're coming out of anyway. After the first two years, and doing well at it and taking the right courses for a Psychology major, you can transfer to a universary or state college to finish up. However bear in mind that it takes a Masters Degree to be a Psychologist. If you want a doctoric that's another year under an internship in a clinical setting.
You know what? Talk this over with your T!!! She will tell
you how to persue this and the courses to take and where
you can get the right help. Listen to her closely and learn
so that you will be prepared. Most of all, it's a long educational program you're entering, it's not going to fly by overnight!!! Probably close to 6/7 years I'd say at least.
If you go right into a state college, then you can do it faster,
but alot of kids don't have to money to do that. You can get scholarships, but your GPA has to be there. You'd have to study hard to try for that. A's and B'S.
I'm glad to hear that you are thinking of a career for yourself
and not just saying it. Your brother sounds like my oldest did when she didn't get the grade she wanted from her professors. Your brother couldn't be slacking off could he?
He's wasting somebody's money if he is!!!
Good luck.
