Nice work. I agree with you about psychology, my field. And it is trending toward a “lack of rigor” flag and even a “not data driven” flag. I’m not sure current psychology departments even identify themselves as a science anymore.
I majored in psych at a ‘rat-runner’ psych department. It was science. In fact the same department styles itself ‘brain science’ instead of psychology.
And I question the ‘lack of job market’ when it comes to education. There are lots of teacher jobs available. With todays kids and their attitudes, there will continue to be lots of teacher jobs open.
