“Now finding a job that ‘uses’ an undergraduate psychology degree, on the other hand...”

If someone with a psychology degree doesn’t know what they are going to do with it, they wasted 4 years. My kid is a freshman majoring in psychology and she altrady started her business plan for when she graduates.

That’s the difference between conservatives and liberals. Libs are waiting to be handed a job. Conservatives create a job.

I don't understand why people pay for education in the first place. With the internet and sites like Kahn Academy the only reason to pay for education is to acquire an increasingly worthless piece of paper.

My kid is a freshman majoring in psychology and she already started her business plan for when she graduates.


I’ve been in business since 1979 and I can tell you this “business plan” stuff is pure junk. In the real world business plans (including the famous 5 year plan) is pure conjure and speculation.

In today’s world its all about a SURVIVAL PLAN and if you aren’t immediately flexible you are dead meat.

Don’t be so smug. We’ll see if your kid makes it in a few years. You already know from the article that psych undergrad degree will be useless, no matter the business plan and the vast majority of business plans fail even when developed by skilled and qualified people. With state licensing requirements and ObamaCare regulations, you’re still encouraging this path? Pity.
