You are absolutely right. I think that sort of comment, instead of, something more real would serve our young people better. I stress to people to get a degree in something basic. Something that shows employers you are teachable, not necessarily their current dream/passion of underwater basketweaving, with an emphasis in blue twine. That can be limiting. (Not that a BS in psych is limiting).

There are things you could do with a 4 year BS in psych. Not necessarily 'practice' psychology, but, my brother has a BS in psychology, and he in in HR. I think it served him well. I think you are, rightfully so, a little down about your future. I wouldn't throw in the towel yet. But, I can sense your frustration.
