The latest issue of Perspectives on Psychological Science contains the following paper:
Perspectives on Psychological Science Volume 6, Number 4 Psychology Degrees: Employment, Wage, and Career Trajectory Consequences D.W. Rajecki and Victor M.H. Borden Psychology is a very popular bachelor's degree, so the psychological science community should be thrilled, right? However, the authors of this article found that psychology professionals fall into the lower salary tiers across the board. Not only do individuals with undergraduate degrees receive lower starting salaries and experience repeated job seeking, but individuals with master's degrees and faculty positions in psychology also receive lower salaries than do their colleagues in other academic fields. These findings show that there are relative economic disadvantages associated with psychology degrees that should be communicated to prospective psychology majors. There is probably nothing new that you did not already know or suspect, but I thought the paper would interest many of you. Miguel --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
