My undergrad thesis was on ethical issues in psychotherapy. Given another chance, I would choose a more specific topic. I struggled with it for a year, and finally turned in an unfinished product, a detailed outline and references that was around 30 pages. I actually considered attending St. Johns, so I'm familiar with their unique curriculum. I think I would have enjoyed it more than the traditional course of study, but I was persuaded by all-too-practical adults to get a degree with more obvious career path opportunities. I'm looking at options in a similar field to yours. I'd like to get a master's in Public Service Administration (to write grants and advise NPOs) if I can do so without going further into debt. And I wish you vast amounts of luck.
sorry i made you wade through that description, then. i don't often meet people who know about st. johns. they usually think i mean the baskeball school in NY or the st. john's college that is here in minnesota. a lot of people there do drop out because they figure out what they want to do and decide to go do it. st. john's is not a very good background for say, criminal justice. but it is very good for anything that requires grad school and several things that do not. is there a specific problem you want to be fixing?
There are several problems I'd like to fix, but I haven't gravitated to any particular one, which would be a problem for grad school. The most likely candidates would be GLBT advocacy and/or fighting forced prostitution/pornography.
