Friends don’t let friends get a degree in psychology!
All across America this time of year, college campuses are filling with new and returning students all looking for that magic piece of paper that will ensure their futures. All that effort and all those tuition fees…. You’d better make sure it’s worth it.
No offense to those with psychology degrees, but the most valuable college degrees now and in the future are much more science and technology-oriented: Engineering, Computers, Finance, and Science.
A List of Best College Degrees By Salary fills the top 5 with the engineering and computer science types, but #10 is Business Management, #11 is Marketing, and #13 is Biology. Psychology is way down there at #19…past even English and Communications.
A Top 10 List of High Paying Careers ranks Pharmaceutical Representative at #9 with an average starting salary of $51,000+. I happen to know of similar sales jobs in clinical diagnostics, research laboratory, histology, pathology, imaging, DNA, cellular, molecular, surgical supplies, hospital equipment, and medical device where you can do better. In a more specialized medical sales job, you can be one of the few, not one of the many, and be that much more successful. What kind of degree is most helpful for those jobs? Biology, microbiology, chemistry…you get the idea. Not psychology. Sorry.
Am I right?

And why are you anxious about what to wear? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin. And yet I say to you, that even Solomon in all his glory is not arrayed like one of these.- Matthew 6:28-29
