Honestly, all throughout college people have always talked about getting a degree in psychology is the biggest waste. When I say that, I mean that when you graduate that degree is not going to put you ahead, especially compared to other majors.
Hell, it wasnt that long ago that on yahoo's money page, it had an article on the worst college majors. It had a top ten list and about 5 or 6 were psychology majors. The rest were art and language majors.
I have a friend who got his masters in psychology. Couldnt get a job. And I remember my first job while going to school was at target. I worked in the back and met one other guy in his 30s. Somehow we got on the subject of school on my first day and he says, "Yeah I went to college and got my degree in Psychology. So that should explain why I'm working here." Lol
So if you REALLY have your mind set on psychology, just know that if you're trying to make good money, you're going to be going for your doctorate which entails about 8 years or more depending on the pace you go. Otherwise, I honestly can say its not worth it.
(No offense to any Psych majors out there. Lol)
