College Life/I want to be a child psychologist

Question
Hello, I need help. Right now, I am doing a diploma in Early Childhood Education and I wish to pursue Child psychology as a career. Is that possible?
That would depend on your school. I think you should check with your guidance counselor. How far into the program are you and what type of degree? While some of your initial courses for the degree may be the same, most of the core classes are going to be different as psychology and education are very different.
People change their majors all the time. I really don't see your school giving you a hard time about this.

Expertise
I can answer general questions about college life as an adult student as well as traditional age. I can help you with how to make the right choice of school, being away from home for the first time, adjusting to being a big fish in a small pond, Do's and Don'ts and almost anything that is on your mind. If I do not initially have the answer I will help you figure it out.
Experience
I am a college graduate with multiple undergraduate degrees currently pursuing a Master's degree. I have graduated from college as a traditional student and have also graduate from college as a non traditional student.
