Anna asked:
I am thinking about double majoring in public health policy and psychology, and possibly even a minor in management. I don’t really know what careers I can do that has to do with those two majors, I’m scared that my degrees would be useless in the future.. I was thinking about public health administration or a public health psychologist. (of course, salary is a big factor too) any insights?

Two high paying fields.
Why are you majoring in these two fields? This is not to say they are bad fields. I just want to know why you’re thinking of them as that will help in better answering your question.
There are plenty of public health policy gigs, especially in DC and with state and local legislators. You will be competing against people with MPHs but if you get enough experience under your belt, you can be a competitive candidate.
Many psychology majors I knew in school went to med school, pursued related Master’s or Doctorate’s (social work, clinical psych, etc.), went to med school or have unrelated jobs. I’m sure a psych major will be able to offer more insight.
