Otherwise, utter garbage.

Its vague and full of ignorance. Author definitely doesn’t know what he is talking about. Sociology and Psychology are both good programs and can land you a well paying job. I hope this author does not feed his family with this kinda nonsense.

Psychology was the most challenging degree at my university! And the only degree that actually studies appropriate science!

I agree ! College is an outdated, overpriced, inefficient and time consuming endeavor. All it does is create a pile of debts, and EMPLOYEES. Read that again, EMPLOYEES. A.K.A … modern day slaves. Contrary to how society and education has brainwashed people. Being a lifelong employee is no accomplishment. The fact that between college and employment. Working for 40-50 years… just to be able to retire ?! Inefficient. Education is a business. So they have to keep most of society brainwashed that college is so wonderful and the only way ! Get FINANCIALLY educated. Extensive financial literacy and education is the only way. Of course, college doesn’t teach this. And, if the FAKE teachers.. The professors. Had real financial education and literacy. They would be out there making big money. Rather than chasing after a measly paycheck, desperate for job security … (yawn) and a pension.

College is not a trade school where you learn specific job skills. You go there to learn how to write, think analytically, and understand complex subjects. Skills highly valued in the workplace. It does not really matter what you studied, but the fact you had the discipline and intelligence to complete a 4-year degree program. Need to determine what you value in life and the type of work you think you would be good at. College is not for everyone. For some people, a trade school is a better option.

Declaring an entire field or interest as “worthless” based on average income is not only insulting and idiotic; it’s incorrect. I know plenty of people with these degrees making a decent income, and most importantly: they are HAPPY. Money isn’t indicative of the entirety of something’s worth. Stef Daniel, I hope you manage to break away from the capitalistic propaganda that caused you to write this garbage.

A BA in psychology landed two friends colleagues in excellent careers. One is an administrator with Disabled Student Services at a major university, and another works for Child Protective Services as a case worker. Both own homes and are in their fifties now. Those jobs exist!

Because someone can equally study engineer, medicine,law etc without a Job. So there is a dignity in every labour. those u thought there’s is useless will get a job before u.
