Why does /sci/ lose its mind over psychology?
I was considering either biochem or molecular biology as my major, but in Australia psychology actually has job prospects. I can't even find job listings for biochem/molecular related jobs, but there are multiple listed in my city each day for psychologists.

So what's with this meme?
>>
It's a pseudo science.

If you'd like to discuss psychology do so on >>>/trash/

ok ill bite
because

>mathematicians have spent their entire lives proving if certain X is greater than Y always
>physicists have used these equations to create trajectory and equations for heat loss, leading to innovations like satellites
>chemists have ...
>statisticians have ...

now we have psychologists:
>I interviewed 20 19 year old women studies majors and conclude the biggest possible X ever
>I use P-values to justify everything
>I am literally a fucktard that is the byproduct of today's oversensitive middle class and am essentially a Victorian era style woman comforter

Let's discuss the realistic outcome of a major. Say somebody gets a masters of Psy.D in psych compared to somebody getting a Ph.D in Maths or even chem.

Who's going to have a job? Who is going to have an enjoyable life, contributing to society?

80% of the time I argue it would be the psychologist.

maybe because your a giant fucking loser working with spergs.

All my psych friends are lab technicians and their salaries are like 30k. Its pretty sad.

I was a psych major too but ended up running my dads construction business.

Only if you are getting your Ph.D or M.D. or both.

Please explain how counseling somebody isn't contributing to society.

Proof that counseling works?

you have no friends, stop lying

>Why does /sci/ lose its mind over psychology?

why on earth would you care about the opinion of a group of pimple-faced neckbeards virgins who all they do is fap over r feynman and useless equations?

if you like or love a subject/field, just go for it

Thanks, I guess /sci/ is a place for me to validate my opinions in a time of great uncertainty for me. Silly, I know. I do talk to friends and family about these things, but on /sci/ I can be anonymous about the things I say. But yes, you are completely right.

Sounds like they didn't do a Masters or doctorate. What do you expect? It's the same with nearly ever STEM field but engineering.
