I have been interested in doing psychology (BSc) at uni for a while now but I am worried about the essay component of the course. Essay based subjects have never been my strength and because of this I am unsure if I would struggle with psychology at degree. Does essay skills have a huge affect on how well you do in a psychology degree ?
Also I know that psychology is a competitive subject so I don't know if I want to risk not being able to good a good job at the end of the course . I have considered doing maths instead as this is something I enjoy and tend to do well in at school .Maths being a highly respected subject in which there will always be good job prospects , would this be a better option?
Any advice on the situation would be appreciated.
