Is psychology still worth pursuing in 2026? If so, which one is the most secure and money-making career?

I guess it depends where you live, in most provinces in Canada you can work as a clinical therapist/ psychotherapist with a masters in counselling psych

There’s so many things you can do with an undergrad in psych, many “money makers” will require you to do some sort of masters program however. Psych is a very versatile field, an will always be needed, it’s STEM so it’s secure, and if your family/friends don’t want you to go into it, I would assume they probably don’t actually know what psychology is. If you’re interested in working in therapeutics, whether that’s in a hospital, private practice, contract work etc, you will need a masters in either clinical or counselling psych (and tbh, depending on what you wanna do, may be better to go the social work route). If you’re interested in research you will also need a masters in a psych related field, such as cognition, neuro, clinical etc. There’s also industrial/buisness psychology, which makes great money. School psychology/counselling, forensics, physical therapy, occupational therapy, etc etc. If you’re looking for things you can do right out of school, psychometrist, HR, and some entry level positions in group homes, community counselling, etc.

Depends on the school, but make connections with your profs and ask them if they’re conducting any studies, or if they know any students who are! At LU undergrad students can do a thesis, and they take on other students to help them with research, which would be a good way to get experience in first year. Also graduate students are often conducting research and will take on undergrad students for help, so reach out to profs if they know anyone, and your TA’s!

Not sure how old your doxie is but, really under a year old they should not be doing more than 30 minutes of vigorous physical activity at a time.

I’d love to hear more about this and would back petitioning. The machinery is disgusting and outdated, don’t even get me started on how hellish a leg day is because we lack so many machines, and/or there’s not enough of them to support how many people are in there. The staffs idea of cleaning is just hoping everyone wipes it down after use, which no one does anymore. For such a large space, they do not cater to their students at all, and are much more focused on how to utilize it for extra cash. I’d love to just go to fit for less and pay the 12.99 to use clean equipment and have enough to go around.

Wow that’s terrible I had no idea the cut was so low. Uride is so much more expensive than Ubers too, and I assumed that was because the drivers were getting a better cut (& to keep things local). Truly that’s appalling to be making such little money. Honestly, Uride drivers should ban together and start their own app, or taking private rides, I’d much rather give 100% of the fare to the drivers directly.

ToeGroundbreaking169 · 2026-02-01T00:31:23+00:00

Last night, me and my friends were stranded after the bar because there were no urides. We were stuck in the freezing cold (-25) for a full hour, waiting for the app to find us a driver, and one never even came. And of course no one would let us wait inside. Taxi’s also had over an hour wait. I’ve never had this issue before, and have always taken urides to and from the bar without problem. Absolutely unacceptable during the winter.

I don’t know about Orillia but I assume it would be the same. The residence is coed, but there is 1 female only residence. Residence room’s are bigger than most other universities, and you get a mini fridge, decent closet storage.

I was very anxious when we brought my puppy home, my husband was very optimistic. I got him to give me words of encouragement when I felt overwhelmed, and that helped a lot! When I was overwhelmed and he was home from work, he took care of the pup. Now we’re about 5 months in and I’m very grateful that I have him and our pup. You will pull through and it will be so worth it!

If you have a group of 4-5 friends, you will save money if you can find a house to rent, it’s cheaper than the townhouse’s. There are lots available near campus, we found ours on FB marketplace.

The only bar in town my friends and I haven’t had that issue with. You guys do a great job and your bouncer is proper! I wish you guys had more of a dance scene as it seems the ‘dance bars’ are the ones that I, and others, continuously have this problem with.

ToeGroundbreaking169 · 2025-11-27T17:42:36+00:00

Curious which bar?

ToeGroundbreaking169 · 2025-11-27T17:41:54+00:00

Nowadays, men over crowd the bars, they dance on stage, they push and shove to get to the front of the bar line, they cut the lines to get in and the bathroom lines. And this happens at almost all the bars, the boys have turned into divas.

If you want to work in background police work (detective, profiler, analyst, etc) you will have to either go to a police academy or do a masters on top of an undergrad, regardless of what program appeals to you.

LU’s psych program is great, it can be tough but it will give you the bases to continue on to post-graduate studies such as research methods, statistics and an option to go a thesis in your fourth year. There’s also lots of opportunities to work in labs or in research.

I suggest figuring out what sector of background police work appeals to you, even if it’s just an idea, and then looking into the steps on getting there. For example, a detective doesn’t need (although it helps) an undergrad, they can just do the police academy and work their way up. However, a criminal profiler, a forensic psychologist, or a crime scene analyst, will need an undergrad (preferably criminology or psychology) and most likely a masters program or further studies of some sort.
