In time for school

I got this in way before my first assignment even though I ordered it late for the semester. I really thought I was going to fail my first assignment because I forgot to order it. You really saved me!

Review for the psychology major's handbook

The book came in great shape and was delivered promptly and on time.

An Indispensable Resource!

Hi Dr. Kuther!I just wanted to tell you THANK YOU! I checked The Psych Major's Handbook out from our library and I found it to be an indispensable resource! It's compelling, thorough, easy to read and CHOCK FULL of "can't-do-without" information. I'm scheduled to graduate from University of Central Florida next fall and I'll be bound for grad school. I was panicking about grad school, the dreaded GRE, and finding a job before reading your book but now I feel a lot more confident. I will DEFINITELY buy the book. I just gotta have it!Thank you again!A One-of-these-ol'-days Psychologist,Kerilynn Kelly-MossTitusville, Florida

So helpful I gain something new from it with each read

I would recomend this book to every person who is a psychology major. This book has helped me to see all of the diverse areas I can explore during my career and how to best market myself for securing these positions. After having read the book, I can see more clearly all of the skills I have gained and how I can best market and utilize them all in the world. I have read and reread this book many times to consider how to best prepare myself right now and have gained new insight with each read. The book helped to give me more direction and was very clear and has great humor thoughout. I am now really excited about finishing my degree and trying all of the areas I have found that I have great interest in that I was not aware of before.

WOW!

I wish I had this years ago! It has everything that a psych major needs to know including how to figure out whether to major in psych, how to do well in classes, how to write papers, what you can do with a degree in psychology, how to get a job, what you can do with a graduate degree and how to get into graduate school. Awesome advice
