I hate the smell of someone burning a clutch in a car

Most experience comes from learning on the job.

It's weird cause I feel lazy and don't want to do things but when I'm at work I'll literally learn the most boring thing super easily when I have an authority figure at my head

Don’t worry 90% of whatever they taught won’t be of any use anyway. They just want to make sure you have the paper

I remember when my cousin dropped out cause he didn’t think college was for him then all my uncles told him to just do any course for the sake of having a degree. He ended up doing psychology and hasn’t practiced at all

My undergrad taught me a lot of stuff I don't think matters that much outside of like 2-3 specific courses

I feel like I wasn't even taught how to easily understand research until post grad stuff even

College almost does feel like a scam unless you go in really knowing the exact work you want to do, unless you use it for networking/opening a door to like office work lol

They really ain't lying when they say there's 3-5 jobs total that require only a psychology bs lmfao. And one of those is dying real fast

I'm still doing a psych job that doesn't even require any degree for the next like 2 weeks

Well said

Do you feel like your career is a better way of getting experience instead of just college books and schoolwork?

me too op.

Yes, but that's like a major part of my field in general. I feel disappointed with Ms program because it felt like we weren't taught enough but it was set up in a way where someone who isn't already working in the field can do the program, and I still feel that weakened my education.

Then again, the way it's all set up is that you need thousands of hours of work experience to practice in the end regardless.

My bs barely taught me anything beyond basics of research/psych and 1 class that basically mirrored my initial training for my job anyways. I feel like a psych bs is just to teach you a ton of very basic pieces of too many disciplines at once but idk

Congrats bro if you're graduating without job placement or networking connections then you just wasted your time and money

College is abot networking

Honestly, same

I don’t think I learned anything lol

College teaches you more general things imo like time management, responsibility, accountability etc that all translates pretty hard in the working world. As far as your specific focus it really just depends on how applicable it is

I studied science. No way I could get through it without learning anything

OP have you considered that maybe you got depression?

Yep also they’re paying you

your supposed to network and go to the events the school hosts like job fairs and talk to the recruiting people

name to post ratio off the charts

you supposed to network during college, otherwise you gonna struggle after

Depends on your major tbh college is supposed to give you foundational knowledge for whatever your field is. Otherwise its mainly for the experience/networking opportunities.

Yup, unless you're getting a postgrad degree in a stem field
