ooh wait whats human services /genq [[google didnt explain it properly :'] ]]

human services isn't entirely one specific thing. a lot of it is actually just working with people, and the most common job that people get when they go for a human services degree is some form of therapist

of course, there are other ways in which people use this degree. some become case workers or they work more in a court system

the way i describe it is that it, more or less, takes a psychological standpoint and applies it in ways that are meant to better help people. it's like the practice of it, instead of just the study of it (if that makes sense)

it's also why there tends to be a lot of overlap when it comes to what degree people have when they work in the human services field. it's also why most of my classes are also filled with psych majors too
