Abstract

When you’re 18 years old and faced with the task of choosing a career path, the business of deciding what to study at university is a tricky one.

To dig deeper into the future of our discipline, we spoke to nine final-year Psychology students who are (possibly) currently teetering on the edge of a psychology career.
