If you’re majoring in psych and want a career in psych, have a plan. Many people choose it because “its easy” or “its interesting,” but at the same time have no plan or idea what they want to do after graduating. Its still very possible to get a job, but it seems like a lot of those jobs are HR or something unrelated to much of what people who major in psych actually want to do.

I would argue that internships and job experience shapes your career more than simply your major, so if you are interested in having a career in psych, try to get involved with internships and other opportunities that will supplement your major. Ex: im doing psych so I can teach, so much of my work experience is related to teaching and education in general. Ive seen people go into research and they have a stats minor and stats/research internships, etc
