I always found it interesting that the majority of H.R. Directors / professionals I worked for have their degrees in psychiatry. And so many of them are sadists. FWIW...
Psychiatry or psychology?
A psychiatry is a graduate\professional (That fact in itself doesn’t validate it!) degree that requires a MD - medical degree first. A psychology degree you can get at the undergraduate - batchelor degree level. Nowadays they’re handed out like Snickers’ bars on Halloween. Very little intellectual rigor & because it’s such a no work degree the most popular on the modern campus.
HR personnel with psychology BSs doesn’t suprise me.
