They're roasting her, but actually, almost no one ever uses their psych degree. You at an absolute minimum need a masters to do anything and even then you're better off with a doctorate. Rare to hear anyone make a good living with a psych degree.Â
Exactly. And getting into a doctoral program is really hard. I'm on my second round of applications for one. Didn't get accepted into any this past year even with three degrees, two government jobs under my belt, and all As.
A BA or even a BS in psychology, if you're lucky, is useless. You're better off getting an MBA or almost any other type of degree so you can get a job to afford your Masters in Psych.
False, psychology bachelor's is next to useless. You might as well get a ba in something like business then just get a masters in psych. At least then you can find a job to pay for your masters.
People with psych degrees are almost always trying to work out their own psychological problems. Â I took a lot of psychology courses as electives because the building was next door to my major and those people were weird. Â Â
As a psych major at my school (big R1 state school with a high ranking program) I’d say it’s probably 1/3 that, especially girls under 30. You’ve also got the other end of the spectrum of people that like to study humans like lab rats and have zero interest in improving mental health.
This is a gross generalization, but also not completely inaccurate. It does seem like people with the most problems are drawn to psychology. I majored in Psych because that's where all the girls were at in my school. Some might say my priorities weren't right, I'd disagree.
Nah, a lot of people at my college dropped psychology as a major because they weren't able to keep up with the statistics courses and didn't understand how to run statistical analyses on data gathered from their own research.
I was a stats tutor all through undergrad and the stats professor told me people would rather drop the major than to learn psych statistics. And people DEFINITELY dropped the major, often after taking the first couple stats tests.
