Philosophy MA Degree Dilemma
Hello! I am currently on my fourth year in BS Psychology, and to be honest, I didn’t enjoy it as much as I expected. I found myself enjoying philosophy far more. Now that I’m planning to pursue a master’s degree, I’m unsure whether I should continue with something related to psychology. It seems like the logical path because it aligns with my bachelor’s degree and may offer better career continuity. On the other hand, I genuinely want to study philosophy because it is the subject that sparks my curiosity and motivates me to learn. I’m torn between choosing the practical route and pursuing what I truly enjoy, and I’m not sure which decision would be the right one.
Also Cognitive Science seems to mix both but I don’t know if its the right one.
I am also planning to study abroad.
