The skills I developed from research (i.e., reading scholarly journals, writing papers, developing theses, etc) \u00a0really gave me a one-up especially in the legal field, as the skills overlap.

Because I work in family law, most cases involve, but not limited to, domestic violence, 730 evaluations, different cases of psychological evaluations, restraining orders, etc. It definitely helped to know these terms and what they mean prior to working. The sense of familiarity forensic psychology gave me really gave me the confidence boost I need to start working right after graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n                          <\/div>\n                      <div class=\"chapter\">\n                              <h3>If you were an undergraduate again, is there anything that you would do differently?<\/h3>\n              \n                                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--description\">\n\n    \n  <p>If there is anything I would do differently is probably take business classes.
