That's fine. My concentration  is logistics/business admin. So math is well the daily grind it's eh..

It's somewhat difficult because my chosen field is in psychology. My love of math (statistics in particular) has made me want to start getting into research, but I don't know how good I'd be at that. It's hard to say what the future will hold, and since it's getting to be about time for me to do my thesis paper (I need to finish it next year), I feel like I should have figured out what I want to do by now. It's hard to pick what to do specifically when one's main interests are so vastly different.

Ahh I see and well I've got a younger sister who's a biology major. Still she's deciding  on something in the medical field. The point is you've always can find your passion and it's not set in stone for your to follow one path. It's alright  for this moment we always have time to find what we're passionate about.

That's fair enough. I may as well set out and do all the things I like to do and see where that takes me.

I've always said to master one thing is to master all things. It's just a martial arts Tao of mine.

I disagree with that. I think the more you know the less you know. As Socrates said "the only thing I know is that I know nothing". With knowledge comes uncertainty and an awareness of one's own inadequacy. Though that said, the knowledge is still present, even when one becomes aware that it is incomplete, and it is important not to forget that.

Ah, man, you'd've been well set up about five years ago.  When I was studying psych, statistics were a huge component of the course because the faculty felt aping the 'harder' sciences was the way to go.  Quantitative analyses or nothing.  These days the trend is more towards qualiatative evaluation and case studies, I've noticed - although still supported with statistical analyses. Maybe psychiatric research or biopsych would be up your alley?

I see your point and well to each his own path.
