My friends ex has a doctorate in like speech communication or something like that and we were all at a wedding a few months ago and I overheard her bitching about how his mom had sent her a birthday card at some point and she was pissed because the card wasn't addressed to "DR. xxxx". Literally the only job she could find with that degree was teaching it at a community college. Calm down.

    looks likes its one of those degrees that arnt marketable, people who get a psych degree act as they are psychiatrist, or psychologist, no you have to get a psyD or phd/MD for that.

    Yeah it is for sure not marketable or particularly useful at all as far as I can tell. I tried having conversations with her about her field and she never once explained anything to me that wasn't common sense stuff.

    my cousin who got a psych degree went to grad school to get her PSYD the proper way to do it, the other is MD for psychiatry or doctorate for psychologist.

    community college is pretty where some doctorate ends up if they cant find research jobs at a university or in private sector, i see alot of stem professors would be useful in doing research than teaching in CC, not that it is anything wrong with that, likely its the limited amount of jobs stem.

    Not a great plan when you have 100s of thousands in student loans to pay off.

    THEY CLAIM THEY like to teach at a CC, some of them had been in the private sector(probably gatekept from university jobs since those are ultra competitive, and faculty just dont leave til they croak, or they become to old to teach)
