Is this a good idea? It's something that interests me but I don't know if one can make a good career out of it.
What jobs are available to people with a masters/PhD in cognitive psychology and what do those jobs entail? Would I have trouble finding a job in this area?
First off, I would suggest talking to any Psychology Professors in your university, or calling offices to see if you can ask a quick question to the Psychologist. Other than that, network!!! Talk to your friends and family, and ask if they know someone within this field.
Now, majoring in Cognitive Psychology is a great idea! Why? Because it's what YOU want. If you find great interest in the field of Psychology, then follow your interest :D Of course you can make a good career out of it
Sorry I couldn't answer much, I want to major in Psychology as well, but I'm still discovering considering I'm in my second year of college. Good luck!!
