Thanks for that info. We are having our annual grad school/career prep seminar next week and this info may provide useful talking points. This might lead some to consider psych grad programs, but I wonder how the market looks for MA or Doctoral level psych folks? How is the academic market in various areas? Interestingly, the article starts out with the misconception of Psych as involving mental health, psychoanalysis, psychiatry, etc. Are psych majors still laboring under this misconception at graduation? If students still want to be little Dr. Phils, then they need some reality checks about the field and the market. Social Work offers better hope for them I think. Some of our students here have done quite well in pursuing Neuropsych, Industrial, and even School Psych., but we have no real idea of the larger picture.

I wonder if the findings are based on the same study that was featured in the article that Scott posted.
