270k in debt for a MA and PhD with zero job prospects: guess the field of study

https://old.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/16adu0k/i_made_horrible_choices_about_my_education_and_im

								

								

My MA is in Industrial Organizational Psychology and my PhD is in East-West Psychology with a focus on qualitative research.

Organizational psychology can actually get you jobs in consulting, iirc. OP was probably too r-slurred to sell himself and decided to go back to school

Organizational Psychology is the only psych degree that'll get you anywhere outside of "research". OP is probably an r-slured foid looking for an r-slured foid HR job that pays $50k a year but what this r-slurred foid doesn't realize is that every r-slurred foid with a masters/PhD in psychology is looking for an r-slured foid HR job because all foids are r-slurred

yeah, and the timing is unfortunate, because cheap money is dissapearing now and large corpos are starting to fire the dead weight foid/bipox diversity positions like HR and DEI managers.

Sometimes I stress out about my student loans but these idiots make me feel so much better, I spent 10% of what this dude did and got into tech with a job waiting for me when I graduated.

That actually sounds incredibly interesting, no idea what the job niche is for that but I'd have to imagine there's something well paying for it if he's not an r-slur.

Most degrees can get you moderately to well paying work if you put effort in to find a first job,

Lol as other /r/dramatards have said - org psych is like THE only psych degree where you can make money hand over fist in a business. Heck it's less uselss than D&I so it likely hasn't been swept up in the purge.

It's like HR and D&I if those were useful and not objectively evil.

How do you frick that up?

>I think being gay is an insult

Darn bro, it's 2021. Your cracks are about 3 decades behind

I do have to ask, do twinks have a particular way of writing that you can identify not only their sexual orientation, but also their role within that orientation?

Cause that's fricking incredible. It's like dictational Gaydar™©®

I mean it's busted, cause you were way off base, but it's still pretty darn cool
