Psychology majors might want to put themselves on the couch.
Only 26 percent of psychology majors are “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their career paths, the lowest in a sampling of popular majors included in a Wall Street Journal study.
The psychology majors the survey captured had a satisfaction rate 14 percentage points lower than the next lowest majors, economics and environmental engineering.
The survey, which was conducted by PayScale.com between April and June of this year, only included respondents with jobs, but could include people who went on to earn a graduate degree. It included 10,800 workers who got their bachelor’s degrees between 1999 and 2010.
