ITT: OP analyzes the mental process of psych majors while simultaneously claiming such analysis is stupid and unfounded in science

OP also makes claims as to his economic prowess while posting about troubled women on a business board

I was actually just listening to a psych professor (ex-physicist) talk about how psychology research is no less serious than studying of the hard sciences in many ways, and in some ways more difficult. It was a defense of psychological studies, not a "im betr dan sumthin else lol" like you're doing though.

This isn't me trying to refute your claim that the majority of psych majors are dumb retards who had nothing better to choose, but your outright disrespect of psychology is full on ignorant. Researching in a field like chemistry is fundamentally more simple because you can isolate variables and do what you like with your tests. You can just measure one thing at a time on its own. Psychology tries to study stuff going on in human minds, which is not at all a simple task.
This doesn't make anything "better" than anything else, but it sure makes you dumb as fuck for assuming that the true professional psychologists are something of lesser beings

I never said psychology was stupid. I said "psychology" was stupid.

OP got BTFO by a psychology hot "slut".

>Makes post about students in "pseudoscience" fields coming out transformed into raving, retarded, pretentious lunatics.
>Possesses the critical lack of self-awareness to realise that he is a raving, retarded, pretentious lunatic.

This.

You seem to have a shitty understanding of applied statistics and research methodology, aka, the foundation of actual science, OP. I hope you aren't actually studying a science.

I'm a pseudo-science major because I intend to go into therapy and counseling.

I'm certainly aware that my undergraduate coursework has been an absolute joke so far compared to my STEM friends, and I'll end up making less than them over my lifetime.

I blame humanistic hug-box approaches to psychology for a lot of what you're talking about, myself.

Most psych research is bullshit tbh, but it led to me getting an internship as a data analyst, which I parlayed into a financial analyst job. It's not a terrible major

>>880948
jesus gtfo and go back to b/ this board is for real buisness

>Why are subhumans in pseudoscience fields so smug

Same reason why CS majors are so smug, they fail to comprehend just how profoundly stupid they are.

I've got a masters in creative writing.

Economically it pays for itself because it's so versatile, but there is a stigma attached to Masters of the arts.

More like masters of the farts

I don't know man. I took Psyc and kept studying human behavior after I dropped out. Also after I dropped out I took up studying advertising and stock investing and a drop of business. Now I can "read people's thoughts" when they are off their guard and not scrambling their minds to avoid being out predicted (out guessed.)

I use it to predict buying trends in the stock market as well as the political landscape.

I'm also a fucking weirdo male who was/is damaged and sought to understand my self and others using Psyc. If what you are reading about Psyc is not at least a little bit scary, you are reading "Pop Psyc" and will have a feel good understanding of people at best.

Start with a book by Robert Chaldini called Influence. Next, do a field study on your own about the difference between what someone says and what someone does. You're mind will be opened wider than you though possible.

Just cite everyone in the last hundred years who said the decline of the arts in education would lead to a society vulnerable to mass suggestion, and that things would suck as a result.
