Recomendations
If i had to pick a field of psychology i would pick the experimental field. You get to study how humans operate physically and psychologically. you get to get interactive with it and perform research and experiments. They do everything from testing how electrical stimulation of a cretin area of a rats brain affects its behavior to studying how disturbed people think.
