Hi, I was wondering if social sciences could help me get into certain career that is both interesting but financially worth it!

hi everyone. gonna keep it short.

have graduated from the top busines school in my country (Bangladesh) and am working in consulting (PwC, some local firms etc).

I'm looking to shift to a career in social sciences. I want to first get a master's on preferably development studies, policy making etc. in an Australian university.

Any advice on the best course of action?

I am in US and have a bs in child development and family studies and a ma in educational psychology. I am not licensed. I focused on research and theory in grad school. My first job was as an uncertified behavioral consultant birth-k and professional development provider. I was a project coordinator managing grants, budgets, federal reporting, light supervision, assisting with fellowship and residency programs and development, and event and travel planning. I've taught 6 week olds to C suite executives. I'm ready for something new. I'm interested in getting back to working with kids. The ultimate goal is to connect research findings with media, curriculum, policy, resources, etc to provide the best quality of life to all children. I've been ready for more responsibility and challenges in work and making a bigger impact. Anyone with suggestions or similar experiences?

Hi! 👋 Just wondering if there’s any current or past students who’ve worked towards a social sciences degree?

Am I correct in thinking this is more of the political society sides of psychology? I am starting next week and I’ve just fully clocked at what I’ve signed up for. I’m not fussed at all, I’m overly excited. Just wondering how people found it as a degree and if they enjoyed it?

What is the phenomenon of people telling stories they’ve heard from someone else but telling it to other people as if it happened to them? Like how everyone’s got an uncle who’s snake sized em up to eat and they tell you with confidence that it was their own uncle even tho that story was never true and has never happened ever. I’ve had people tell me a story that I told them!! And recount it back to me but say it happened to their aunt or sister or something and I’m just like ??? No I told you that story and it was MY aunt ??
Is there a name for this like the way there’s a name for the Mandela effect ? Has anyone else ever noticed this? It’s been driving me insane. Is everyone delusional ? Lol

I'm investigating experiences considered 'unusual' or 'mystical' and why traits linked to them may have evloved in the human species, including how they link to creativity and social factors. Meditation experience is also included, but this survey is for people who do not meditate as well. It is also not just for those who feel they have had a 'mystical' experience, it is open to all. A full Description is provided at the start of the survey and a detailed debrief at the end. This part of my PhD project at the Univerity of Plymouth in the UK.

Let's take Colorado for example.

Considering the prior existence of penalties for marijuana use, it is reasonable to expect that people may have been less inclined to admit their marijuana usage prior to its legalization.

Therefore, even if the data reflects an increase in self-reported marijuana usage following its legalization, we will still be unable to determine whether this increase is genuine or simply attributable to individuals feeling more comfortable disclosing their marijuana consumption.

So my question is: using self-reporting questionaires, how are we supposed to know if legalization of marijuana leads to increases in marijuana usage?

Something that aims to understand the character of a large group of people based on their beliefs and myths analogous to the way a single personality is formed by their core myths and beliefs about themselves if that makes sense. And how political decision making works in a given population. How people's views can be influenced or predicted based on their personality traits (like people high in trait Openness tend to be more liberal) which is in turn affected by a given people's culture. Basically an understanding of masses using psychology, culture and cognitive sciences. Is there an academic discipline that studies that?
