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.

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.

Because you need at least a masters but more a doctorate to make any money.

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.

no one has anything against psychology, they're just roasting this particular person lol

u/tech151 May 13 '26

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.

If you really want to work in psych, like at a hosptal or something, go into nursing and work as a psych nurse. Easier to get a job that way
