Study Psychology Courses As a Career Or Hobby

Psychology is a very popular subject. As humans we are always curious and want to understand more and more in life. One of the fascinations is human behaviour and why people act in different ways in certain situations. What makes it even more interesting is that none of us are the same. If every human was the same it would be a very boring world as we all understand each others behaviours and what we would likely do in various situations. So the fact everyone is different makes it that more interesting. Because everyone is different to you then your more likely to want to understand their behaviours. This is why psychology is one of the most popular subjects around. Poker players are very interested in this subject as they are always looking for tells and trying to work out if the players bluffing or not.
