What is the great part about your career? "You get to provide solutions, which is great." "...Especially when it works"

[@freddielyles9738]

You forgot to add the part where "prodivide solutions no one has ever thought of". The upside so far has been great pay, paid travel, team-oriented, satisfaction in its importance, etc. The main downside I've seen is the workload and pressure for perfection.

If you're not an engineering and computer science person but do like studying human behaviours and want to explore cognitive aspects, can you still pursue a masters program "Human factors and applied psychology" or will it not work? Need guidance. Anyone please?
