From the start, I’ve known I’ve wanted to work with animals, but I wasn’t sure what career to go into. I’ve recently found that I also take a strong interest in learning about human nature in anthropology. Before going to the career fair at UD, I was even more unsure about what major could relate to both human psychology and animals. It wasn’t until the very end that I was directed to the cognitive science table by the women at the anthropology table. From there, Dr. Andreasen and I bonded right away. I explained to her exactly what I was looking for and she told me she wanted to hug me and thought I’d be perfect for cognitive science with a minor in anthropology. A lot of my skills come from hands-on experiences and this would give me more field work. This now being my intended major, it fits perfectly with my career goals and is similar to what my skill sets are. I like to preform lab work and conduct research, not just sit behind a desk all day. Cognitive science is a broad enough major that I can fit exactly what I’m interested in while also meeting my skills.
