> Go to Undergrad in Psychology
> Easily destroy it, great GPA and the head of clubs
> Want to keep the ride going
> Apply to Masters programs that sound cool
> Masters in Epidemiology
> Masters in Biostatistics
> Masters in I/O Psychology
> Masters in Cognitive Psychology
> Don't know which one to choose
> Whichever I choose I'm going to get a PhD in
> Zero debt so far, probably will get a TAship to pay for tuition and 1.3k/mo from any program because I'm a normy with people skills

So which is it?
What would you decide?
We can't all be entrepreneurs and/or day traders.

None of the above. You will get fucked.

Just find a job somewhere, do something lucrative.

I got a masters in a psych field and it did not payoff.

Can I get fries with that?

If you can get into a prestigious, brand name grad program (Top 15 US news or so) focus on Developmental/Child Psychology and get your PHD. After that, move to a rich neighborhood (somewhere near NYC, SF, LA etc) and open up a clinic. Affluent people will shell out absurd amounts of money for someone to chat with their spoiled, shitty kid about their feelings and such.

If you are getting a PhD in these fields, can't you skip the masters? I managed a lab with people who had master's in cognition, they either had to continue education to PhD or get a not so great job.

Even if you can make all that work, it will turn into something like $90k - $100k a year.

Meanwhile you have $100k+ of debt, growing interest at 7% a year.

It's not fucking worth it. Really no masters or PhD is.

Medicine is still fine, law is meh.

The graduate school bubble is gonna be the 3rd worst bubble pop in American history.

I emphasize "if".

A lot.

Debt free, TAship pays for tuition and stipend. I'm actually a hot commodity and have already received this offer from every university that's accepted me.

I hate kids, might be fun to drug them up though

>>1801547
They don't let you skip masters, that's like skipping undergrad and going straight to a Master's program after Highschool


I'm honestly leaning more towards the statistics heavy degrees because stats is easy for me and salaries begin at 100-150k, of course money isn't the only consideration. With Epidemiology I would get to travel the world. Whatever I do the jobs with be comfy

People skip masters all the time.
