Psychology vs Business

AzureSkies — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 13:42:22 +0800

Pretty much in a quandary here. I've been obsessed, even desperate, to get into a Business programme as my first degree. While I'm capable of doing Business, the genuine passion isn't there ; I only want it as a ticket into the corporate world. On the other hand, I absolutely love Psychology. But I really, really don't want to end up as a badly paid psychologist twenty years down the road. Yes, I'm well aware some psychologists charge a few hundred ringgit per session. But really, how many of us are cut out for that?

So, what do you guys think? Will a Psychology degree even help me enter the corporate world? Will it allow me to, later in life, be a successful businessman? Don't get me wrong though, I'm not so dreamy as to think any particular degree can guarantee billions for me. But right now I really think Business is worlds better at securing my future as far as finances go.

What do you guys think?

Anyone here with experience in English Literature?

So I'm currently studying English Lit for Edexcel's A Levels. The thing is, ALL the essays I've done so far are considered unsatisfactory by my lecturer. Though I've been trying to adapt according to the comments that my lecturer wrote, I have almost zero confidence in getting an A for this subject. I'm also taking Law and Economics and compared to these, I really have NO idea how to "properly" prepare for English Lit exams. It feels like nothing I do is right and as if my studying method is just wrong.

Can anyone enlighten me on how to ace this subject? There has got to be a BASIC formula I can stick with to at least get a B for this thing. And yes, I've been practicing with past year questions plus reading the handouts/notes given to me. Also I've read the texts time and again. Dear God, what else am I supposed to do? I'm really at my wit's end here.

I can't access my router's web config

So I just bought this new ARTnet ADSL2 modem. At first I could access the configuration with 192.168.1.1 but subsequent attempts have not been successful. IE for example would just give me the 404 error. Is there any way I can access it again so I could disable the firewall and other stuff?

Thanks in advance.

Any Malaysian/Singaporean rank 14 so far?

Just wondering, since I'm on Lightbringer(PST timezone) and it's really hard to work for rank 14. Let's just say I wake up at 2 am...yeah...

So has anyone here who plays in the NA timezones even reached the rank? It's just crazy and I begin to wonder if it's even possible.

The Alterac Valley BG is so long, man.

Today waited for 2hrs+ to get into AV, then another 6 hours or so to win it. Alliance btw. The IBS reward is pretty nice, but what's even better is the honor it gives.

Halfway into battle we suffered serious stalemate with the horde and many left thinking the latter will win. But somehow those who patiently stayed behind turned the tide. LOL, I guess one should never give up till the end in AV.

Does anyone play this BG a lot? How hard is it for you guys to usually enter?
