weekly blog 2
I know I am late on this one but hey, atleast I'm writing one. HAHA! During class on Monday, Wollersheim's dad came in and talked to our class about his work with Harry Harlow. I thought that was so cool because, Harry was a huge deal back then. It would be like meeting a famous celebrity. Wollersheim's dad talked about his job in the lab and I feel like thats what i have. It is not the best job in the world but it pays. He had to pick up after the monkeys', I have to pick up after old ladies and people who just don't care. He did mention that if we are going to major in psychology, we should have a Plan B. Reason being is that there are not many jobs to be just a psychologist. That made me think about my goals in life. I wanted to be a psychologist but now I am thinking that I might major in elementary education and minor in psychology. I learned alot from Wollersheim's dad, from schooling to work to major events. When he told us about the bombings at his college, it made me somewhat scared. What happens if I end up doing research that people don't approve of and they want to stop the research. I really liked what he had to say about his career, it was very interesting.

Mhm, I enjoyed listening to Wollersheim's dad, too. When he mentioned how absent-minded Harry Harlowe was, it made me wonder how he could keep his experiments neat and organized without mixing up the data.
ReplyDeleteI am particularly interested in deviant behavior, so the story about the monkey pulling the girl's hair was interesting to me.
