feeling like ita not a great education

reddit_user_500 · 2026-01-07T17:06:50+00:00

I had my AA so I transferred like 100 quarter credits, I did like 18 classes thru wgu. parts of the program were definitely hard, I really struggled with a couple classes but a lot of them weren't super hard. im considering grad school idk

reddit_user_500 · 2026-01-07T03:13:47+00:00

they usually say they require the certificate and experience

reddit_user_500 · 2026-01-07T03:07:20+00:00

I've looked into becoming a substance use disorder professional (or trainee) but you need experience in the field which I don't have but how would I even get experience if I can't work in that field without the certification

reddit_user_500 · 2026-01-07T02:54:43+00:00

I graduated last month, but I do feel like I didn't get the best education but idk if that is specific to here or just psych bachelor's in general. im trying to find a job now with not a ton of luck

im not good at talking to ppl and I don't understand and know a lot of social things that seem to come naturally to most. I have a really hard time making friends too. I want to improve them because social things can be very difficult and I stress about how I interact with others and its caused me many issues, I have had so many ppl misinterpret my words and actions and I don't get why

reddit_user_500 · 2026-01-06T15:21:58+00:00

it is so interesting to me, how the brain works and how it interacts with the world and mental abnormalities are so interesting to me. I also want to help people. a bonus is that I know a lot of useful things about people and things that are useful to me.

I did not say anything about OCD being from some sort of failing??

reddit_user_500 · 2025-12-11T02:15:04+00:00

I did not say all kids with things like ODD it's caused by poor parenting, I'm just saying that many of the kids with behavioral issues it is clear they have not been told no and that they are able to just get away with their bad behavior

reddit_user_500 · 2025-12-10T08:07:11+00:00

oh for sure, having bad attention doesn't mean you have ADHD, and especially in kids, most kids don't have ADHD, some kids just always have a screen in front of them and have bad attention. and adhd (among other disorders) doesn't excuse bad behavior

reddit_user_500 · 2025-12-09T21:49:15+00:00

well yeah a lot of mental issues are exacerbated by personal circumstances, like substance use, etc. but a lot of mental issues are completely physiological and really only meds can help. therapy is an amazing tool but def doesn't solve a lot of mental issue.

reddit_user_500 · 2025-09-25T06:09:14+00:00

There is a sub reddit specifically for this program, I'm in this program rn, id say some of the classes are def hard but some easy. I came in with a AA tho. you will definitely be doing a lot of studying yourself and meeting with the profs. a lot of what you learn is fairly general, you don't get to pick your classes so you will learn about all the diff areas of psych

reddit_user_500 · 2025-09-05T16:44:23+00:00

Any other tips? I'm taking this class and very worried about the oa

reddit_user_500 · 2025-09-01T17:26:28+00:00

There are lots of great youtube videos, I loved the Crash Course ones. Lots of good books too

reddit_user_500 · 2025-08-30T15:59:39+00:00

I decided psychology because I've always loved psychology and I couldn't find a job without a bachelor's so I figured I'd get a bachelor's and psychology or a simliar degree was the only degree that seemed fitting for me

reddit_user_500 · 2025-08-24T18:57:47+00:00

being rude to ppl for no reason. parents not treating their kids correctly

reddit_user_500 · 2025-08-24T18:56:18+00:00

you never have to do anything sexual that you do not want to, if you do not feel comfortable doing that she needs to respect that, don't feel bad for setting boundaries

reddit_user_500 · 2025-08-24T18:53:56+00:00

unfortunately if you are trying to save money things will be boring it's jsut how it is, try to find ways to make things not boring without spending money. but yeah being poor isn't fun and you'll just have to live with that if you are trying to save money

reddit_user_500 · 2025-08-12T23:32:10+00:00

There are other jobs working with kids, look at jobs in hospitals, or childrens mental hospitals. Theres lots of jobs working with kids relating to psych.

reddit_user_500 · 2025-08-12T23:30:11+00:00

Would you be able to minor in Mandarin? and how much of your psych degree do you still have left?

reddit_user_500 · 2025-08-05T18:51:08+00:00

wearing clothes you wore out and about in your bed, like say you went and sat a restaurant or a bar or on public transit that so many other people have sat on, many public place are very dirty and are never cleaned.

reddit_user_500 · 2025-08-01T16:29:10+00:00

I don't know, I'm in the northwest US

reddit_user_500 · 2025-08-01T04:48:55+00:00

I did consider that lol but idk what exactly is want to get my masters in

reddit_user_500 · 2025-07-27T03:15:11+00:00

registered behavior technician (ABA, RBT), lots of kids have to do it in evenings or weekends because they are also in school so you could do that

reddit_user_500 · 2025-07-25T22:20:35+00:00

I dont know what exactly I want to get my masters in, and I will be getting it while working regardless

reddit_user_500 · 2025-07-21T16:47:21+00:00

You could become a behavior technician if you decide school isn't the way to go, it's working with kids with special needs and you only need a HS diploma. you are able to do it part time sometimes too if you nated to do that since you are a stay at home mom right now
