[Fefe]

It's too late to change or add a major for me but I'm considering Psychology as far as graduate programs. Do any of you study psychology? It's kind of a hobby for me but the only class is I've taken was in high school.

Not worth it IMO

You could get lucky and study it for a career, but there u gotta get a masters I think

Being a therapist isn't worth it, its a depressing job with at best decent pay

If you have to take out loans, don't do psychology. If your education is paid for you should go for it.

I'm trying to open a practice in the future and I want to cater to my own people. Would the pay still suck if I'd mostly be billing the state? My people mostly can't afford health care.

Lil Wayne studied Psychology through a U of Houston extension program, right?

I'm studying Psychology right now and im a year away from a BA and 1 semester from a Associates but im trying to get a Master's in business too. You can get jobs with a BA in Psychology but its not going to be what you think. I work for a Top 3 Insurance company and they offer jobs that require a BA in Psychology and the starting pay is $40,000+ but outside of jobs that require that degree there is not much out there. Unless you got a Ph.D, Psychology is useless, even a Masters isn't all that unless you can get it for counceling.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. Congrats on only having one year to go!

Sounds like you've got your answer, but don't social workers take psychology courses?
I'm sure they don't make amazing money either, but my guess is that if you're into psychology, chances are you're not driven by money to begin with.

It's a fascinating subject to study, to be sure.
I think most people take Psych 101 in college...you gloss over the same old Pavlov's dogs stuff and a few other interesting studies but few advance past that 1st class.

They take some, but not to the extent of a Psychology degree. You can get a Associates in Social Work, shyt even a certificate for it and thats not many classes. Depends on the state for the $$$, New Mexico is hella fukked up and has had so many issues with the social workers out here and they be hiring them up like you would not believe, but the pay is so basura.

them upper level psych classes are im taking some this fall, abnormal psychology, adolescent psychology, psychology of women, psychology of minorities, sexual psychology, drug dependent. etc, the list goes on breh, plus im at a research college, shyt is mangificent breh

I'm not super educated on Islamic culture.
