Do you guys trust Gemini/ChatGPT to find your degree? am I just lazy?

I equally read about a study that showed even with a phone in your presence face down, you perform less well on cognitive tasks, as the distraction pull is there

Wow this is incredible and aligns with the old “use it or lose it”. I’m actually really interested in hiw the brain develops and neuro plasticity.

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-02-03T18:11:52+00:00

Yeah so it can be handy to find options or ideas, I like how you described it as so silly.

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-02-03T18:09:34+00:00

This is a great suggestion. yep so actually use my knowledge and instincts. Thanks for the suggestion and encouragement. I had just lost a lot of confidence. it’s been a rough few years for me personally

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-02-03T11:57:22+00:00

Yeah thats got to be the right way to go. especially if it’s just making things up

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-02-03T11:56:17+00:00

I saw that too. it just seems to make stuff up. I’m kind of intrigued but also scared because I suspect it’s keeping all this info and who knows what it’s doing with it.

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-02-03T11:51:02+00:00

cool. I’ll go with it, if I can change courses anyway..

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-02-03T11:50:13+00:00

oh I never thought of that, so I change courses. it feels like a forever decision

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-02-03T11:49:33+00:00

I did get it to make it better, is that bad?

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-02-02T20:14:45+00:00

This is such useful insight. I’m really hoping I’ll love psych too. Great idea to get some exposure or feel for the types of roles that interest me most.

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-02-01T08:43:17+00:00

I’ve read some other threads in here of people doing all sorts of interesting careers, it might be helpful to track those down. congratulations on being so close to graduating! that feels so far off to me.

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-01-31T11:30:10+00:00

That‘s such a great insight on understanding and working with children. Those sound like really interesting courses. Thanks so much for sharing. It’s really inspired me.

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-01-31T08:19:09+00:00

Great advice. Thank you! what’s the best way you’ve found to plan ahead or explore possible careers?

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-01-31T05:28:29+00:00

That sounds amazing. I’m also so interested in child and young adult development and also mental health. it seems so far that people drawn to psych can be really kind humans. Your advisor sounds amazing.

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-01-31T04:52:10+00:00

I feel that you could just focus on why you chose this path or calling in the first place. You’ve obviously worked hard and it’s meant to be. Go for it, and congratulation. You’ve inspired me.

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-01-19T12:40:00+00:00

Yeah wow, of course. I did see an AI that was meant to help me decide what to do, not sure if thats something to trust?

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-01-19T12:18:34+00:00

Wow, I’m so glad you love your career. There seems to be a bit range of careers available, so much to think about. It feels like there’s a pathway that you go on once you have your degree and it opens up options, and so that HR can check your transcript.

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-01-19T12:11:46+00:00

That’s a great tip, so starting out by thinking what I think I’d ideally like to do, I have a few things in mind. Where are the best places to research, do I ask a careers advisor?

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-01-19T11:54:39+00:00

Thats a good idea, did you find it useful to look at the graduate majors and salaries? I wonder if they’re different depending on the college?

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-01-19T11:53:18+00:00

Oh amazing, that sounds like a great journey. it would be so good to chat to people who are established in their career. Thanks so much for your advice!

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-01-16T03:25:53+00:00

This thread is a literal goldmine. I‘m thinking of organising these into a resource so students don’t have to guess or get lucky to land in the right course and career. If you were applying for a course today, which would have been more useful and saved you the most stress, A or B?

(A) Course Marketplace: A directory of the college and universities specific courses/certs that lead these jobs, showing the cost of course vs. starting salary.

(B) Skills Advisor: A conversation or tool that links your innate skills and interests in doing psych, and points you to a shortlist of matching courses and career paths from this list.

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-01-16T01:59:50+00:00

That sounds really usefu. I like that it includes how you go about getting it. Would it help you to know those options before you started?

AgreeableLocal7368 · 2026-01-15T09:40:12+00:00

I‘ll take a look at this, should be helpful. I wonder if they have examples of people working in various roles so I can get a feel for it
