I work well under pressure, that helped... I got accepted into law school with a scholarship to the best university in the country I lived in but then I started analyzing that law is a degree that is pretty much exclusive to each country, each judicial system is different, so it dawned on me that if I went for it I'd never be able to come back to the US and practice my career, so I blew it off and went to all local universities to look at academic brochures (I had 3 days before all classes stopped accepting submissions)with all the different careers offered and then it dawned on me... psychology, Im not the loving, caring, save the world, help all people person, but I do have a kind heart and usually try to see the best in others, help them solve issues, people fascinate me, how we can all be so different yet so similar, etc so I really enjoy my career, my specialization I picked because I love working with seniors... everyone turns their back on them, family, law, even their own bodies sometimes

even though psychology is pretty sociological and culture based it's still pretty universal, specially neuropsychology and cognitive behavior ^_^
