I am in my first year for a Psychology major and found this video to be extremely helpful! Unless I want to work in a hospital setting under a Doctor or in minor mostly administrative positions I have to further my education but it is wise to round your experiences with a year of volunteering/jobs before delving into more education. Thanks for sharing :)
I received a Ph.D. in psychology at the University of Texas in 1970. After working as a psychologist in Minnesota for 5 years I moved out of the cold and back to Texas. After trying to get a job as a psychologist for 5 years, I switched my career to Computer Science (self-taught). I eventually became head of a small Data Processing Office with two persons with Masters Degrees in Computer Science working for me. Note: When two or more psychologists apply for the same job, there are absolutely no standards to indicate who is best.
You are actually better off majoring in Statistics/Math rather that Psychology. Much of psychology is build on research, which involves heavy use of statistical methodologies. Why would you want to spend so much time learning just the theories and practices of psychology, when in fact all of that is based upon hardcore statistical science. Study Statistics, NOT psychology. Stats for 4 years is incredible more valuable than studying Psychology for 4 years.

Great video. Thank you
I can hardly hear the audience's questions at the end of the video.

Drop out of Psychobabble school and go to truck driving school. At least you can get a job driving a truck.
