AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the perception of psychology as a "joke degree," with participants expressing confusion over this characterization. Many argue that a psychology degree can lead to viable career paths, particularly in research or clinical settings, although these require significant commitment and effort. The conversation highlights that individuals are not limited to careers directly related to their degrees, as many graduates from various fields, including engineering and law, may pursue different career paths. The importance of applying learned skills productively is emphasized, suggesting that the value of a degree lies in how knowledge is utilized in life, rather than solely in job prospects.

If you want to become a research or clinical psychologist it will take a lot of time and effort.

Also remember people aren't tied down to their degree choice: maybe some degrees like medicine but even people that take (and complete) engineering, and law degrees won't necessarily become engineers or lawyers.

Also in terms of 'joke' degrees, while I am biased towards technical degrees, it doesn't mean you won't learn anything useful. The most important thing you will do is to actually use what you learn in a productive way and this is by no means restricted to your choice of degree.

If you make use of what you have learned in a productive way, then in my mind you're already 3/4's there. Also this doesn't just mean in a job or career, this is for anything that comes up in your life.
