"A Trip to Costa Rica Changed My Career Path": Rebecca's College Story

As a high school freshman, 14-year-old Rebecca had set her sights on two possible career paths. I either wanted to go into architecture, because I loved the design of spaces, or become a counselor/therapist. Those were the two areas I was most curious about.

By my junior-senior year (I graduated high school a year early so those two years were combined for me), I had narrowed those choices down to psychology. However, my interest in creating space had not faded and this led me to explore the possibility of industrial psychology.
