Bad omen

Today, my friend Kate and I were helping build a playground. Halfway through, a construction worker asked where we go to school. I told him we graduated and proudly held degrees in Psych. The construction worker stopped mid-dig, glanced at us sadly, and said, "Yeah, that's what my degree is in too." FML

Unless you're going beyond a four-year degree, psych is useless. This shouldn't surprise you as more psych degrees are handed out than any other concentration last time I checked.

You have to be willing to move where the job is. If you aren't willing to move, then yeah..you might end up there. I knew astrophys' and microbiologists working in an inking factory because they couldn't find jobs in the area.

Psych really is the easiest major, I am a genetics major and take psych courses as my easy classes each semester. Anyone who says it's not the easiest major is a psych major themselves. With that said, it's effin undergrad and doesn't matter.

#63 - Try a Valium? Talk about ruining the epicness. You can't do much with a degree in psychology unless you get a PhD or your medical degree as well.

Look, the economy's crazy right now... We gotta hustle however we can to stay afloat! Plus construction's a great gig pay-wise...

Actually, #54 I have qualifications in biology and statistics on their own too. I chose psychology as a basis because it's such a rounded subject, and opens up a number of different paths career- wise. Most people do psychology because they enjoy working with people, and plan on a PhD afterwards, as I do. Don't make judgements about people you don't know...

Psych is an easy degree, at least at my school.

#21, English isn't an easy degree. Useless, yes, but not easy. And I'm a math major. As for psych, it's nothing until you get a PhD or some other advanced degree.

"Work hard, stay in school, and you too might become (Insert crappy job here)" Welcome to the economy.
