Do y'all realize Psyc majors have the highest unemployment of all the undergrad degrees?




WRONG. Wasn't going to address it because you hadn't specifically quoted me, but since you want to continue perpetuating this fallacy in what looks like an attempt to feel better about your Nursing degree...


See pay, job prospects, unemployment rate for every college major in California - Data Center - The Sacramento Bee



As of Jan 2013 the unemployment rate is 6.4% in Cali(my school) and 5.4% nationally,

StudentsReview: Unemployment rates by Major

but that's irrelevant.

Will be attending Medical School, so I won't have a issue concerning employment. My major is irrelevant and if I wasn't, I would have still chosen it and went to school for my PhD because I'm interested in the subject matter. Nueroscience minor regardless so I'd still eat a hell of a lot better than you either way it goes Don't lose any sleep about it. I'm not. :heh:

Any chemical engineering majors here? I'm majoring in Chemistry but I've been considering switching. If I do, I will have to stay in school for an extra year.

The 11 Majors With The Highest Unemployment Rates

I don't know a soul with a Psych degree that's unemployed. What's more, your article is from 2011. You're not making 6 figures with a Psych degree unless you're a PhD, but that's not every guys aspiration. A BS is Psych isn't the most lucrative field, but there are employment opportunities out there. I'm not sure why people are attempting to dissuade individuals from Humanities. There is a reason Engineers make the kind of money they do out of the gate. They're in high demand. Everyone can't under-go the rigor of an Engineering curriculum. Granted we need more, but what exactly do some of the STEM heads think will happen if the market is over saturated with those degrees?

Lets get into med school first before you start assuming you'll be eating well. I hope you're studying for your MCAT breh..

URM with over a 3.5, great EC's, and over 150 shadowing hours. As far as studying for the MCAT there's no need to do so when it's a year away. 3-5 months prior to study and my stats are fine. And if I don't go? I'll pursue a PhD in dreaded Psych. Since the topic of discussion was unemployment, it was fitting to let it be known that I would be eating well with a MD or not in a field I enjoy. Don't you worry about it, breh.

I'm not discouraging anyone to do anything I'm just saying the job prospects should factor in to your decision on which major to choose.

here is the 1st comment from the article.

I have a BS in Psychology and I can tell you the degree is worth almost nothing. I took some courses in grad school and a lot of people I knew with graduate degrees and no licensure were having a hard time finding jobs. So unless you plan on getting your LPC or a doctorate in Psy. then don't even bother pursuing this career. I know that if I knew then what I know now about this field, I would not have pursued it. If you want to be able to support yourself, choosing a career is vital! Since taking a semester off of grad school and after much thinking and praying; I am switching to Nursing. This is a field which one of the lowest unemployment rates and a great prospect. And if I do an accelerated program, I can have a MSN in the same amount of time it would have taken me to get a masters!

Personally, like I said, I don't know anyone with a Psych degree that's unemployed. Zilch. I do agree with the bold, but a lot of kids don't have the aptitude for a lot of these degrees, and that is because they're not adequately prepared growing up by their schools. A lot of people argue Lib arts & Humanities and the first quip is salary. That's just not the be all end all for everyone. I would advise anyone getting a Psych degree to pursue a PhD, but there are jobs to be had with a BS in Psych.
