My Primary Education Goals

Improved Essays
My primary education goal is to get a career in political advocacy. This is another term for lobbying, either at the directly with the legislator, or at the grassroots level with the general public. A few of the current issues I desire to lobby for are, gun rights, environmental protection, education reform, and space exploration. Currently I am a psychology major at a community college, but once I transfer to a 4 year university I plan taking political science with psychology as a double major while finding a way to incorporate both, to suit me in the best possible way. My motive for taking psychology is for a more personal reason, I want to use my mind more effectively, no in my private and professional life, and psychology is the ideal major.
