^Yeah, only STEM majors get jobs, everybody else will become worthless fry cooks, at least if we’re going by his logic.



I would NOT major in psych unless you were prepared to be literally jobless for at least 6-7 years.



Show me the research that says you’re not just blowing that number out of your butt Anti. By the time you’ve earned your Ph.D you’ve had to intern for upwards of 3000-something hours which is about 1.5 years at 40 hours/week. I’m pretty sure unless you’re feeding the clients cyanide in drinking water they’d probably hire you on full-time once you get your degree. Plus there are a large number of research grants that also come with the territory because by the time you’ve reached Ph.D level you’ve almost certainly done professional/published research with professors. That’s how you pad your Vitae and get respect in the field.
