i feel called out as a psychology undergrad who doesn't know which career path to go into 💀💀

That's me who studied the entire university degree in Law and a postgraduate degree in mediation and then I started studying speech therapy 🙂

When your mom says you have to go to college as soon as you graduate high school so you just pick whatever major

Literally floored by the carpet design

It's NOT OUR FUCKING FAULT that we're expected to choose our life's calling and future career path at age 17 (20 if you're lucky enough to have that system) and then get screwed over royally because your chosen career still doesn't get paid enough for the government to sponsor your visa even after a Master's. I'm fine.

As someone with a bachelor in Literature, and working in IT, I feel seen, called out and reassured all at the same time.

Yep, this is true. As a psychologist, I had friend who studied in undergrad with me and then went onto become a make up artist 😂😅

I'm a cashier with a physics masters and... yeah 😅

To be fair, you can’t really do much with a bachelor’s in psychology anyway 😅 you need a master for most things

There’s just no jobs for specialized degrees anymore. But a ton of jobs for other areas, somehow 😭

I feel this, B.S. in music technology. Found out I absolutely hated it after my junior year but decided to stick it out to get the bachelor's degree. Ended up getting a totally unrelated job that pays way more for less work and ended up paying off all my student loans with it. Realized I enjoy music way more as a hobby than a job

*I'm in this picture and I don't like it"

As someone who trained as a nurse but left shortly after qualifying I can confirm it did indeed teach me everything I needed to know about any completely unrelated field. No lies they can’t teach you even 1% of every medical condition ever but I 100% learned to bulshit like a pro and appear completely confident while I’m trying not to shit myself with fear on the inside.

It's OK to change your mind!

Carpet design for large boats 😭😂

Remember, Sales is always an option for us rejects 😂😂😂

I have a creative writing degree but I started my Etsy business while I was going to school and actually sold things I was knitting on the bus on the way to class, so I guess tangentially I used my degree. Also I met my husband in college and got my MRS as well as my bachelors, lol. So there's that.

Just because you don't work in the field you majored in doesn't mean that your degree is useless.

As a beekeeping major, we are constantly buzzy!

Made my masters degree in forensics and after Covid the entire field collapsed (I'm not in the US). The state changed the rules midgame and now I'm no longer qualified. But the actual qualification I now need is behind a massive paywall. By the time I can afford it, I'm out of my field for too long and won't get a job anyway. So, yeah. That is why I don't work in my field right now. I would need to leave my country and leave everyone and everything behind.

Also a psychology major! I actually just graduated! But instead of focusing on psychology for grad school, I switched to journalism. Knowing me, I’m probably gonna wind up in something very different eventually lol

We have a girl who studied as a pilot!!! and a quantum physicist girl. In a MARKETING team. Crazy!

I have a character who has an entire doctorate he doesn't use. It makes me laugh.

I got several degrees in biology - one in pest management, now I just do analytics for a cannabis company... which is kinda like agriculture, and also I DID do a lot of statistics in college... *shrug*

Carpet design for large boats. Brilliant

I had a neighbor who to pay for his psychology degree, got a job as a Frito-Lay truck driver. After getting at least his masters, he found out he made more driving the truck then he would as a psychologist, so he kept driving. He had a wife, a kid, and a pretty neat house, with a Frito-Lay truck parked out front.

I didn't finish high school, and we straight into the workforce. By the time my friends got out of school, I had one job as a receptionist, one in retail and one food service with three years experience in each. All while building an art career. All of my former friends with degrees still live at home with their parent's in their 30s.

I know it's standard and general since it happens to everyone at 1 time or another to change their college degrees. But for those who literally change their degree about 4-5+ times: Is that related to ADHD brain?-this would not surprise me if it was since most ppl who do actually have ADHD tend to jump from subject to subject unless it's something that truly truly interests them. Ex: I have an AA degree in Liberal Arts on the Arts and Humanities side, but idk what career field that would be good/useful in tbh. Then, I became obsessed with astrology, zodiac signs, etc...and even if it's not the best career field, with the in-depthness of it, it makes me wonder: "Should I be an astrologist?" - no joke, that's how deep I go into someitmes. Technically, I am trying to get into a different career field currently, but either way-Why do the majority of us do this?

my parents who are gonna try to make me graduate with an education degree when that's not what i want at all 😭

I know quite a few people who don't necessarily use what they learned in their undergrad degrees, but who then went on to do post grad degrees or qualifications related to their careers.

My mom spent 12 years getting her bachelors degree in medical assisting, and promptly became a secretary in a corporate office. 😂 It’s cool, though, that’s how she met my dad. After they got married and had me, the only other time she was ever employed again was very short-lived and I was still in diapers, and it was only because my dad was between jobs. She’s never had another job again after that, so I’ve literally never seen her work for a living and I just turned 36 yesterday.

I have a psychology degree, then got a degree at a youth mental health facility. I now work in Information Technology.

This is me. I studied International Studies and have never been able to land a single job related to the major.

What i hate is when you go into a interview and they ask you about your degree. I did not use my degree for my previous jobs. But what i hate more is when they call my degree useless or a waist of time. That degree was expensive. It costed me money, tears, stress, and so many hours of studying.

I feel ya. Majored in English, and I never even speak it.

When you have to start from a fresh page and everyone around you is shocked that your life experiences don’t match up with the environment you’re at rn😂

i find that a joke is way funnier when i repeat it multiple times in a row

A psychology degree doesn't qualify you to be a therapist, or even a psychologist. You have to do higher level qualifications and get placements. Most people can't afford the outlay on top of their Bsc debts It's that simple. That's why psychologists and therapists often tend to be posh. Daddy paid for them to qualify.

Law student here, I want to finish university just because I need money to pursue my studies of classics. Growing up is weird😂

Hmmm, I majored in chemistry bc I liked science and felt, still feel, it’s extremely important . Worked in an R&D and decided I didn’t like it so I taught chem and physics on the high school level. Found out about a job in international trade in the electrical transformer industry in Japan. Just retired. Used the hell out of my degree. BECAUSE I STUDIED SOMETHING USEFUL AND RELEVANT.

This is gonna be me in few years 😂

Tried to work at the same field as my degree, didn't work at all for me. Love learning my degree, hate to use it for career. So i changed lmao.

That's basically everyone in my country. Including me. But here is because finding a job in your field is like a miracle. Almost impossible to happen.

Got a masters painting on art faculty. The jobs a had: sales assistant in a confectionery, hotel housekeeper, waitress and bartender, sales assistant in a toy shop and administrator for the car and machine fixing department of a construction company. I’m confusing myself a lot😊

So many people here should've just joined the military. There you can learn a 4-6 years of shit that you'll never be able to use. And at least you'd get paid get and not go into debt.

This is how I’d sound if I continued my art major before switching to STEM 😅

I am a waitress who studied to be a vet (I am a vet tech by edu).... honestly, the job is so stressless compared to the veterinary field...

Let me tell you about the reality of that degree. In my state, you need a degree to work as a TSS. Therapeutic support specialist. Helping kids that hzve trouble in school. It pays pretty well. But... Sometimes you only get 4 hours a week..plus you are going into homes where you get lice and ringworm. So there is high turnover. Pilates is a better choice, honestly.

Wild that OF is a career

I studied Kinesiology and then went on to have 0 jobs that have anything to do with that, been almost 10 years and 🤷🏽‍♀️

god I WISH a bachelor's degree in psychology qualified for the therapist training 😭😭

For some of us, COVID happened, so... Yeah, back to school and another degree it is.

Me with japanese language and literature going into psychology cuz there's no jobs for people with my degree and helping people is better than being a receptionist or a cashier. At least I'll be my own boss and I'll be able to refuse services to awful people.

You can major in beekeeping??

I dropped out of art school and became a pharmacy technician😂😂😂

Should've pursued beekeeping

I graduated med school and now am lost lol

People learn anything in bachelor's degree?

College is such a scam 😂

I'm a sociologist but work in marketing and sales

Masters degree in engineering but I work in local government… 😅

THIS👏IS👏SOOOOO👏RELATABLE👏🤣

Imagine anyone hiring you because of your bachelors on psych

Linguistics. Would you like fries with that?

I am literally a psych major who doesn’t use their degree after graduating

lol that was great

Me lol

I have a degree in evolutionary biology but I manage Strip clubs. Soooo yeah.

I’m an unemployed woman who has a design degree 💔💔💔

I am unemployed with a horticulture degree. I can’t drive. So my job option became not existent. 😂

Yes of course 💅

Pilates is more different pschology dis girl actually skipped like four post-graduate degrees

Fk. This is relatable. I have two degrees, I don't use them.

And this is why we have massive student loan debt.

I use my degree: on polynomials and field extensions tho.

Me, close to finishing an english degree, trying to open a coffee shop. No, im not going to switch my major, i am not giving any more money or time to college than i need to

Mee 😅😊

Lmao

People change their minds?

lmao

You are cute

First!!!!!

Sigh

Um, I am pursuing a Master's in Engineering and applying to be a model? 🥲
