Please help me talk some sense into my sister!

I am someone with a BS in Psychology who has learned the field for that degree is very limited. I am working on a masters degree in Education. I am sorry, but I think the absolute worst thing your sister could do is to head your advice. While your advice may be well meaning, I also understand the path your sister is likely on. I've spent the last 10 years in a dead in job with my Psych degree. Family & friends urged me to go for my masters or other Psychology fields that I really didn't have a passion for. The worst decision I could have ever made was to listen to them. I am sure you are well meaning and care about your sister. But, what she is trying to decide is a path that she will live out for many years to come. I initally began this journey back to school to obtain a second undergrad, it was along that journey I discovered the opportunity and passion for the field I am currently going on. Please, don't tell your sister what to do, let her find her passion and support her as she tries to find it. Take it from someone who has been in those shoes, it is frightening and after so many years, you don't want to get into another program that lands you in a field you don't really care for.
