The Republican contender implied at a town hall in South Carolina on Saturday that psychology degrees don't lead to good job prospects.
"When a student shows up, they ought to say 'Hey, that psych major deal, that philosophy major thing, that's great.' It's important to have liberal arts ... but realize, you're going to be working at Chick-fil-A..."
Psychology students and graduates quickly mobilized, tweeting their stories of personal and career successes using the hashtag #ThisPsychMajor.

Open mouth insert foot. That fits Jeb to a tee.
My first major was Psych. I used to joke that it qualified me to drive an ice cream truck.
Some people need a dose of humility. Good grief. Not a Jeb fan by any stretch and perhaps he could have said it better, but really?
Jebito is an ignoramous.
And the consumers of Country Music never bought another Dixie Chicks album ever.
Well .. even ‘ol Jeb can swerve into the truth occasionally.
“ThisPsychMajor will finish grad school and make six figures for her family before 25”
That psych major needs to see a reality therapist or put her bong down. Methinks Mommie’s dearest snowflake is in for a bad surprise.
One of the few times that Yeb was right. A psych undergraduate or masters is pretty much worthless .... a doctorate however will allow you practice witchcraft and voodoo, be anti-social and weird, and have the government mandate clients buy your services.
Jeb is an idiot.
Psych majors are whiners.
Every psych major I’ve ever known says essentially the same thing. But everybody has to be always offended. It validates their existence.
In one weeks time, Jeb has managed to insult the French with his remark about Marco working a 3 day work week “like the french”, to this description of how viable a psych degree is.
Actually, Jeb is correct in both instances, but unlike Trump, who will double or triple down on most statements, Jeb is going to be walking this back very shortly, if he hasn’t already done it. Don’t say it, of you won’t defend it.
I have had to learn the same lessons myself. Only the stakes were not nearly as high as with Jeb.
Dear Psych majors,
“How does that make you feel?”
I guess he hasn’t check USAJobs recently. Pay, Doctorate plus internship, psychology, 60-108k per year.
My first interest was also psych. I took enough
courses to convince myself I had every malady
in the book. Then I got serious/real and went
into accounting/business admin. Jeb is right.
He may NEVER get the French vote back.
LOL
($25 please)
Jeb is immature

About sums it up. I saw a presentation many years ago where it added up the lifetime value of different college majors. It was shocking to see how many took forever to even break even in comparison with college tuition. Anyone who pays 6 figures for for an education that earns you 35k a year needs their head examined!
“...be anti-social and weird, and have the government mandate clients buy your services.”
Can I do that being an FR poster and skip the schooling? I got 2 out of 3 going for me already.
And I’m special.
