@Gumba1000: I just took a lot of them, because I was interested in all of them. Psychology helps the neuroscience one and there is a lot of overlap. Computer science is just fun.
Honestly if I couldn't do research, I have no idea what I'd do. Lab techs do research too, they just work under others. When I've done research in labs here, I've worked on a project on my own. The head of the lab offered help to me along the way and it was something they were interested in researching and I was assigned.
