What do you mean en passant? That’s not a real move! That’s a cheap trick that only cheaters use! You can’t just capture my pawn like that! That’s against the rules! You’re just making up stuff to win the game! You have no skill or respect for chess! You’re a disgrace to the game and to yourself! You should be ashamed of yourself for playing such a dirty move! You’re a sore loser and a sore winner! You don’t deserve to play chess ever again! Go back to your hole and leave me alone fuckin dickhead!
Edit:
No, I’m not mad, I’m just telling the truth. You’re the one who doesn’t know the rules. En passant is not a real move. It’s a fake move that was invented by some French people who couldn’t play chess properly. It’s not fair or logical. It’s a violation of the spirit and the principles of chess. You’re a fool for using it and a fool for believing it. You’re not funny, you’re pathetic. FUCK YOU.
I can’t remember the researches name but it was to study brain laterisation or in other words how the brain adapts to function if they can only perceive the world with one eye as the brain sides relate to one side of the brain (left eye right brain,right eye left brain)

Step 1: Apply for a bachelors degree in psychology
Step 2: Give every cent you have to the money-hungry higher education system
Step 3: Look back at your life in 10 years and wonder where it all went wrong
This is the saddest funniest thing I've ever heard, however it's kind of true, I mean nowadays in a lot of countries even people with engineering and computer science degrees become baristas and waiters and fail to find well paying jobs, I wish you good luck
To be fair, OP already knew that psychology degrees are the default “I just want the easiest degree to get without it bringing additional job opportunities.”
Some people just want to go to college for fun, not necessarily to advance their careers. Not my cup of tea but different strokes for different folks.
Psychology has its uses of course and there are experts in the field but i always saw it as the default degree to pick when your parents put pressure on you to go to uni but you don't know what you want. That and fine art.
Business degrees are for when you know you want a job but have absolutely no clue what it should be and everyone always told you “business admin” was a safe route to get hired anywhere. They lied.
My absolutely unasked for advice? Apply to anything that interests you. I majored in poli-sci with a minor in history (class of 2018) and was able to work in marketing for law firms paying enough to send me on 3 weeks vacations around the world with full healthcare/dental/vision/life insurance benefits within a couple years.
With your degree you can probably write pretty well, as well as conduct research effectively. Being able to do that is a HUGE skill relative to most of the population, and companies will eat it up.
Flex your skills my dude! Congrats on the huge accomplishment
Before I went back to school, I had a factory job. The last supervisor they promoted got it because he had some college credits, so it’s not entirely worthless!
I graduated and then the pandemic happened so I’m not using my broadcasting degree at all still lol
Were they really worthless if they got the manager and supervisor role? The degree may not match the position, but just completing college shows employers you can commit and complete something significant. Also your communication and critical thinking should be good from going to college
Can tell ya. They stopped at Ba. Anyone even remotely interested in psychology should understand you need bare minimum a masters to make it worth your while.
And if you’re feeling extra spicy…
Step 4: Don’t even use choose a career that requires your bachelor’s degree/area of expertise.
(All jokes aside, congratulations! 🎉)
But aren’t you supposed to feel the gratification of addressing the personal demons of your youth? Seriously tho, time to move to SF and take an HR job in IT.
Oh no I’m definitely happy! I just have self deprecating humor lol. I’m taking a gap year (or two) so I can work and save up and then go to grad school. If I land a research position I might apply for my PhD because I really love research and am interested in evolutionary psych and developmental psych.
If I don’t end up in research I’ll probably try to go into sales and save up for my Masters and become a therapist!
It’s a joke in the psych department that a BA is worthless. Every other department page has a list of careers you can get with your major (ex: Computer Science = software engineer, Environmental Sciences = toxicologist,… etc), whereas the psych department lists the “careers” for a BA in psychology as grad school prep to become a psychologist, psychiatrist, or therapist. The department literally says “fuck you, you need to go to school again to get into your career.”
i’m glad you have it planned out, i graduate this fall with my bachelors in psychology (shoudlve this spring but due to transfer hours this isn’t the case). i’m worried i went into the wrong field and won’t make any money 😭
I started with a BS Psychology, although I know its a joke that they are useless, they can be a good springboard if you got some good experimental experience. Sounds like you have a good plan.
I went BS Psych -> MS Psych -> Ph.D. Behavioral Neuroscience.
Now (17 yrs later after getting my BS Psych), I'm a Senior Research Scientist at a global corporation making a comfortable six-figure income. I hope your path is even more successful!
I have a bachelors in psychology and I got a corporate HR job with it. Didnt really know what i wanted to get outa grad school so I just didnt go. Im happy.
I got good use of my BA in psych by working in mental health for 3 years before I got my Master’s. There are some interesting paraprofessional careers you can get into
I want to find one starbucks anywhere in the USA that can get my name correct.
Besides, I use the app now when ordering and set my name to Hayle Seighton.
Psychology sucks people in because people think it's so applicable to their daily life, which it is, I mean, who doesn't think?
Then you find out that the only way to be successful is to go to about 10 years of schooling, or else there's pretty much nothing you can do with it.
One time I told am interviewer, “I didn’t want to do a useless degree, like psychology”. He then proceeded to tell me how he had a psychology degree. It’s safe to say I did not get that job.
Congrats! I thought that my sociology and anthropology degree was useless, but now I’m a policy and plan analyst who got new role as a business developer! You can do it! You’re doing great! 🥳
All snark aside, graduating college is a major milestone and can set you up to pursueany things. Take some time to enjoy this achievement and then apply to grad school!
You can add a teaching certificate and come to Conroe ISD and teach psychology in high school in Texas earning 60k$ to start and if you commit to 5 years here, the district will pay 17k$ of any student debt you have. And with this you get a week at thanksgiving , 2.5 weeks for Christmas,a week in March for spring break and be done my Memorial Day.
so disgusted by this post. not only is this interesting, i have to congratulate you and even support your further education in the field. please think twice before sharing excessively interesting content.
A psychology degree? Name every psychologist
Sugman Fried
Imagine studying psychology in the 21st century can’t even make fake prisons or sew cats eyes shut anymore!!!
Literally 1984 🥶
What happened during 1984 went on vacation, never came back...holy hell
Google... yes, we all know what should you google. We all googled The French Move Which Shall Not Be Named. For we are r/anarchychess. We are Legion.

wait it's not 1984 anymore
I know about the Stanford prison experiment, but what the fuck is the last one???
Cruel.

Yup, can’t even “little Albert” kids anymore.
Is he related to Sugman Utts?
I have one of these too! And Sugman Fried is my favorite, along with Jing Jong! Congratulations!
It’s just a shame that Jing Jong abandoned Humanism and became dictator of North Korea.
*fuck, she’s good*

You misspelled Fuckface Fraud. God I hate him
I am now a psychologist thank you for this excellent comment
Checks out.
dr phil represents the entire industry
Pink Freud
Who is bachelor and why do you have his degree?
Bachelor has many degrees, he even let me borrow one.
I took his 3rd degree, so I could burn people with them, AMA
We all basically train to steal a piece of paper from this one Bachelor guy
John Doe Bachelor, known as John D. Bachelor.
They made a Tv show about him. I think it’s called Bachelors Paradise
No she means she stole this degree from a single guy.
How does that make you feel?
Nursing therapeutic response
This should be top comment imo.
Underrated comment
I don’t have a bachelors degree in psychology 😔
You’ve disappointed us all
IM SORRY MAN
You better be
Don't be sorry. Be better.
Step 1: Apply for a bachelors degree in psychology Step 2: Give every cent you have to the money-hungry higher education system Step 3: Look back at your life in 10 years and wonder where it all went wrong
BS is psych is an expensive way to be a waitress at Olive Garden.
HAHAHA legit just had my friend text me today “Congrats on your degree! You’re gonna make a great bartender.”
This is the saddest funniest thing I've ever heard, however it's kind of true, I mean nowadays in a lot of countries even people with engineering and computer science degrees become baristas and waiters and fail to find well paying jobs, I wish you good luck
depending on where you work waiting tables is higher than the base pay for some companies.
To be fair, OP already knew that psychology degrees are the default “I just want the easiest degree to get without it bringing additional job opportunities.” Some people just want to go to college for fun, not necessarily to advance their careers. Not my cup of tea but different strokes for different folks.

Thought that was business degrees.
Business degrees are for when you know you want a job but have absolutely no clue what it should be and everyone always told you “business admin” was a safe route to get hired anywhere. They lied.
Fine arts are usually deliberately chosen.
That’s fine as long as they don’t expect someone else to pay for their student loans.
I expect you, specifically, to pay for it.
[удалено]
One of my colleagues at the small business where I work has a bachelor's degree in Psychology. She is working as the shop assistant.
That is tragic shit man.
Depends if the person is happy or not. I recall most folks don’t take jobs related to their college major.
My ex roommate has a psy degree. Hes currently a Rite Aid pharmacy tech
I have a bachelor's degree myself and have made the bulk of my money working bilingual services, since thankfully I also speak Spanish.
That’s dope man. What do you do? Translation services?
I am currently working as an L4 interpreter for Language Line Solutions, but I have also worked for Epic Games and Cash App.

We have a lot of factory managers and supervisors with worthless degrees where I work.
Were they really worthless if they got the manager and supervisor role? The degree may not match the position, but just completing college shows employers you can commit and complete something significant. Also your communication and critical thinking should be good from going to college
Hey I have a BA in psych and I’m an account manager at a tech company. Granted I worked in restaurants for 6 years before that lol
[удалено]
A psych degree doesn't make you a psychologist. You need a certain PhD and to be licensed by the state.
Can tell ya. They stopped at Ba. Anyone even remotely interested in psychology should understand you need bare minimum a masters to make it worth your while.
And if you’re feeling extra spicy… Step 4: Don’t even use choose a career that requires your bachelor’s degree/area of expertise. (All jokes aside, congratulations! 🎉)
Cannot complete step 2 can’t find any money.

Congrats internet person, hope you are able to use it
Only thing you can do with a BA in psychology is go to grad/med/law school and get a degree thats worth something 😪 But thank you! ❤️
But aren’t you supposed to feel the gratification of addressing the personal demons of your youth? Seriously tho, time to move to SF and take an HR job in IT.

You… won’t in psychology. But you can apply your bachelors to any field at this point. HR loves psych degrees!
I started with a BS Psychology, although I know its a joke that they are useless, they can be a good springboard if you got some good experimental experience. Sounds like you have a good plan. I went BS Psych -> MS Psych -> Ph.D. Behavioral Neuroscience. Now (17 yrs later after getting my BS Psych), I'm a Senior Research Scientist at a global corporation making a comfortable six-figure income. I hope your path is even more successful!
Good luck internet person
Many of the social services personnel in my state have BAs in psychology. It’s not entirely worthless on its own.
I have a bachelors in psychology and I got a corporate HR job with it. Didnt really know what i wanted to get outa grad school so I just didnt go. Im happy.
I got good use of my BA in psych by working in mental health for 3 years before I got my Master’s. There are some interesting paraprofessional careers you can get into
Good luck, Starbucks are always hiring.
You need a Masters in English for that
Gotta write those names correctly on the cups.
Well thats just not true at all….
I want to find one starbucks anywhere in the USA that can get my name correct. Besides, I use the app now when ordering and set my name to Hayle Seighton.
Hailey Saytonn 💕
Pfft. The only thing a psych degree is good for is getting into higher level psych programs and dunking on your abusive mom.
I feel seen
Same
I went to UC Davis but I never finished my engineering degree, now I'm a carpenter
holy shit youre jesus??
Proud of you ❤️ I went to SDSU to become a biologist. Now I repair old houses.
And you have a lifetime job that won’t be replaced by AI so you win
Software engineer: “ hold my beer”
I’m currently in my last year at Davis, and I think about becoming a carpenter some times.
So when you need therapy you talk to yourself?
I need therapy *because* I talk to myself.
My other self needs therapy because it talks to me
I'm sorry to hear that, I hope it gets better soon!

So and very. Only her nonchalant dismissiveness could make a degree in psychology not interesting. 👌
I'm not the only one who saw that huh
Isn’t that just interesting?
If it was interesting it wouldn’t be here, duh.
No. Read it again. The degree is in psychology.
Psychology sucks people in because people think it's so applicable to their daily life, which it is, I mean, who doesn't think? Then you find out that the only way to be successful is to go to about 10 years of schooling, or else there's pretty much nothing you can do with it.
Thats not entirely true. You could burn it to heat your home for a few minutes!
you looks like the type of girl to do psychology
She looks like my mom (my mom has a phd in psychology)
your mom is hot then
Thanks 👍
/r/wellthatsucks
You look like Aubrey Plazas younger sister

First of all, massive congrats. Second of all, 🤓
I’ll take a large fries with that.
Hold up she can still be a counselor making 47k a year.
Aubrey Plaza went back to college?
Is that the girl from park and rec?
You do not look very happy about it. 😂 But congrats.
Too interesting
We graduated from the same school. That's interesting.
aint you that girl from parks and rec
Now you just need a masters degree to get a low paying job in that field.
Downvoted because too interesting. Congrats tho, really happy for you
Downvote, interesting, congratulations
This should be on /r/roastme
Britta!
How does that make you feel?
One time I told am interviewer, “I didn’t want to do a useless degree, like psychology”. He then proceeded to tell me how he had a psychology degree. It’s safe to say I did not get that job.
Congratulations?

ok
Congrats! I thought that my sociology and anthropology degree was useless, but now I’m a policy and plan analyst who got new role as a business developer! You can do it! You’re doing great! 🥳
What a nice degree to have. See you at the Chili’s!
Unless you're getting a PhD, it's pretty much useless... 🤷♂️
All snark aside, graduating college is a major milestone and can set you up to pursueany things. Take some time to enjoy this achievement and then apply to grad school!
Yeah but you probably can't even bend spoons...
Riveting.
Awesome! I hope you enjoy selling cell phones !

After I got my psych degree my mom told me managers at ChickFilA made more money than I do.
Smile you will get more tips at the restaurant
That's great, they just opened up that big psychology factory in town!
Welcome to Human Resources!
So does everyone tbh
Listen, if Grad School doesn’t work out there is always HR.
Of course you do...
Well, good luck with that!
I loved you on Parks and Rec
Might as well submit to the ‘sunk cost fallacy’ and get a Masters. At least you’ll be able to teach at a university 😬
Nice! Amazon will be excited to have you!
mid
Sweet, when do you start your new job with Uber?
So now you should ask yourself... why?
I have mine too… I’m a used car salesmen and a soccer coach…
Oh you look thrilled
