Hello everyone! I’m 18 and currently in university studying Psychology with a minor in Marketing. Recently I’ve been considering switching into Finance or Economics because I’m really interested in careers like management consulting, brand marketing, project management, and corporate strategy.

I enjoy business, branding, media, and creative strategy, but I’m worried that staying in Psychology could make it harder to break into those fields compared to having a business degree. Would I still be able to get my foot in the door with a Psychology degree, or would switching majors/minors be the smarter move?

I’m also trying to think long term and build a sustainable career that makes good money and has strong growth opportunities. Obviously with AI, nothing feels completely “safe” besides areas like healthcare or trades, so if anyone has job suggestions I should look into, or if you’ve been in a similar situation before, I’d really appreciate hearing your advice. Thank you :)

Hi everyone, I’m feeling a bit lost when it comes to choosing a long-term career path, and I’d really appreciate some advice. I’m 18 and currently in university studying Psychology with a minor in Marketing. I enjoy business, media, branding, and the idea of working my way up the corporate ladder. Consulting and accounting both seem interesting to me, and I could also see myself working in media management, brand strategy, or corporate roles for companies and brands I really love.

One thing I’m worried about is long-term job stability with AI changing so many industries. I’m trying to find a career that is stable, pays well, has good growth opportunities, and will help me build my way up after university. I’m not the strongest in math or science, which makes some paths harder for me. I’ve looked into healthcare fields like nursing and RMT because they seem secure, but I honestly can’t picture myself doing those jobs forever.

Has anyone been in a similar position, and what career paths did you end up taking? How did you figure out what jobs were realistic, stable, and worth pursuing after university, and how do people actually break into good corporate/business jobs after graduating? Any job suggestions or advice would be really appreciated. Thank you :)
