I would like to know how you are coping with this, mypaintbrushes. If we do not hear, I will assume you are busy with something of great importance. I know I had no time to post as I packed, moved, found a new place, and got settled. This may be a good time for you to do the same thing.

I was thinking the same thing. I'd take his psychology degree and wipe your ass with it. An ass wiping might be the only thing a psychology degree is good for. My stbx's masters was one thing I felt she could rely on to get back into the working world. One person at her Alma Mater said she had been out of the field so long that everything had changed, making her degree useless in the job world. Now, I know there are some professions that have a recertification if one has been out of the market, but "useless" goes beyond that. If it is useless now, it was useless then, and odds are the new psychology degrees are useless, too. Ouch. Maybe it’s my psychology degree that allowed me to diagnose the extent of my SM shithole so quickly in order to get out and pursue my new life. Pretty useful. 😉

It is easy for me to beat things up when they are on the other side.

It is easy for me to beat things up when they are on the other side. (But yeah, it’s pretty useless career-wise unless I want to practice. Which I don’t. I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to bust your balls a little. Pun intended. 😆)

mypaintbrushes, that was very kind of him to make a psychological profile and share it with you. Also very thoughtful to say he _would_ have had sex with you. I've been there. Sorry. I was thinking the same thing. I'd take his psychology degree and wipe your ass with it. Then give it back to him.

Not true. I got my psych doctorate 32 years ago. I was a close Nicosia 5 years but burned out and went back into journalism (my original field) college teaching and nonprofits. As recently as 2 years ago, I was able to get a program director nonprofit job due to my psych degree and background.
While in most startes it’s difficult to become a licensed therapist only a psych masters, her background might be a plus for social service, legislative, educational or nonprofit jobs involving grant management, policy or program management.
If she plays her cards well, she should be employable
FWIW if anyone here or their kids is considering a psych major, do it only if you lovr chemistry because the findings over the last decades have indicated the influence of biochemistry on behavior.

Perhaps I should have said his armchair psychology degree. I was just noting that the ass hat was pretty good at diagnosing mypaintbrushes "issues" (sarcasm laid on thick). As far as the utilization of a psych degree, if it helped choosinghappy recognize her shithole a decade ahead of me, I'd say it has value. I have no idea how it fares in the job market.

I'm glad others have turned their psych degrees into value for honest incomes, and helped them out of their messes. I hope you will all understand if I seem a bit bitter. The big value for my wife's schooling, which I paid for, has been how long she could milk me. Her lifestyle was enviable, and her payoff will be humongous.
That being said, I am in agreement to the old joke, "Q: why are divorces so expensive? A: because they are worth it."

FWIW, I majored in art and went into a very lucrative field. Just in case anyone or their kids are considering that (it helps to know how to code).
It’s not the education; it’s what you do with it. 😊

FWIW, I majored in art and went into a very lucrative field. Just in case anyone or their kids are considering that (it helps to know how to code). It’s not the education; it’s what you do with it. 😊 I had a friend in college that was a philosophy major. He was the life of the party where it came to interesting discussions, such that on more than one occasion a new friend would say they wanted to change their major to philosophy. His recommendation was that they consider a major where they had a good chance at landing a really good paying job, like "art." It got the point across regarding the prospects of most of his classmates. I think a lot of college students swallow the bait and believe they are smart, and when asked what they will do with their degree they say, "I'm smart. I'll figure it out." Four years later they are living with their parents and serving coffee, and maybe realizing that it is them not figuring it out.
