Let’s face it. . .there are those unsuited in ALL professions. However, while doing undergrad work many many years ago, I noticed that some seeking psychology degrees had problems of their own and decided to go ahead and major in it while trying to “find themselves”. Over the years I have personally witnessed a few guidance counselors in the schools ill-fitted for the position . . .as in lacking common sense. Note: I am not making a blanket statement about all in the profession!
I’ve observed the same. Those I’ve known who sought undergrad degrees in Psy often did so to try to find out about themselves; others sought that degree because it was one of the easiest degrees to get (like Poly-Sci). They all were liberals.
