Hey ladies!  I'm new to the boards and just wanted to introduce myself.  I'm graduating this may with my (fairly useless) BA in Psychology.  FI and I are moving to Atlanta in June where he will start his PharmD program at Mercer.  I'm starting a BSN program, but I eventually will be a CNM (certified nurse-midwife for those not familiar).  We're getting married next June and I think we have decided to go with a Hawaii wedding.  If anyone has any advice on planning a wedding from so far away, I'd love to hear it.  Thanks for reading!

    What makes you think your degree in psychology is useless?  What were you planning on doing with it?

    Sorry, I probably should have clarified.  I didn't mean that it's useless in general, just useless for me.  I changed my mind about what I want to do for a career, and it doesn't really help me to have it at all.  I'm going to have to get a second bachelor's degree- a BSN in order to do what I want to do.

    Welcome to the board and congratulations!  A DW in Hawaii sounds lovely- we are going to Maui on our honeymoon.

    As far as advice, I'd say if you have any time off before you start school for your BSN, try to get a lot of the big stuff out of the way.  I finnished most of our planning (ceremony and reception venues, photographer, catering, DJ, etc) before I started med school this year, and I am beyond happy I didn't have to work time out of my schedule to go visit venues and such.  It's all fun but can be very time consuming.

    Just remember to have fun!  Happy planning!

    Lol, psychology degree=useless!  I'm doing med-type stuff as well, a BSN is awesome but I totally know what you mean by your undergrad degree feeling useless.  I actually DO think psych is helpful no matter what you go on to do- understanding people is the key to just about everything- but the medical field is great at making you feel like chemistry and biology are all that ever matter.

    I could have graduated in a semester with a psych degree because they took all my neurology transfer credits as psych credits, but I've never taken anything but psych 101 and I thought it would be totally useless to have a degree in something I knew nothing about!  Two years later... I'm not so sure.  At least I'd have a degree!

    Welcome to the board!!!  I too have my Bachelor in Psychology.  It might seem useless, but it does come in handy I think in all aspect of life, work, etc.  I too changed my direction after I graduated from Psychology as well.  Life happens, where you find something else that you want to pursue.  Good Luck with yours.  A DW wedding in Hawaii sounds great!!  Check out the Destination Wedding board under wedding theme. Happy Planning!!
