Before I ever touched an animation program, I was interested in a career in Psychology. And while it didn’t work out that way, some of what I learned while studying psychology has really helped me in my work and life. Take for example the subject of Cognitive Dissonance:
Read more about Cognitive Dissonance here. Some of it is actually accurate.

Man!!! I studied psychology too! Great article Aharon!! keep it up!!
Great vid Aharon, very interesting point especially in this day and age when a lot of networking is done digitally, getting five minutes of someone’s time can make the difference in getting a job in the future.
Thanks for the insight. How true it is. My resume has NEVER gotten me a job, it’s always been a result of finding a way to talk with people.
Aharon:
This fits very nicely into a social media for educators group that I just became a part of; classroom20.com. It is based on helping educators understand how to integrate web 2.0 tools into the classroom at all levels. More importantly, this is not to create a generation of “button pushers” but problem solvers, ie 21st Century Learners!
After all, isn’t that what this whole new media thing is about?
Thanks! I’ve heard it before, but it helps to hear it again at a cross-roads kind of moment!
wow. thanks man. i love it

Well, Dimitris, my wife wants to go to Greece, so you never know.
Psychology is one of the most interesting branches of science because there are so many unknowns.~*;
