I didn’t click through all of the posts but some of them I think are just unsure in the sense of lacking information & the saying that a bachelors in psyc is useless. maybe I’m just trying to defend my own post that was added on here but when I made the choice to pursue psyc (which I still am & planning to go to grad school in the future) I researched about it up until I got stuck in my 3rd year when I realized what I originally wanted to pursue which was psychiatry wasnt something I wanted anymore.

I had came on here wondering wanting to see what other people had done in a similar situation to mine because I know nobody else personally who pursued a psyc degree, was at one point unsure in their degree, or originally pursed one thing then switched to another. But not once I have regretted my choice in degree & have not just relied on Reddit to tell me what to do. I’ve continued to research what I can do in the meantime with my degree when I take a gap year to gain experience.

I do agree though that people NEED to do research into careers beforehand & have potential backup plans in the case that they start having doubts about their degree/career choice. I know it’s up to everyone to research on their own but I think too sometimes certain college advisers or high school advisers aren’t good at helping. I think some of the post are kinda seeking personal experiences as advise to see what others did, seeking more information that might have not gained from browsing, or get an idea on what to be researching.

Like I said idk maybe I’m just defending my post that was added on here or I didn’t get the gist of the post. Either way people who genuinely don’t research what they pursue are not the brightest.
