HELP ME OR I'LL CRASH OUT.
So, I decided to take up psychology hons and I wanna pursue I-O psychology later. Another frnd of mine wants to do the same and initially after researching for a while I saw the job prospects were actually nice and I have this belief that anything tech related will have a lotta job prospects cuz there are so many tech companies out there. But then I came across this page about I-O psychology on reddit itself and my heart just broke man. Maximum posts abt job prospects were of "not getting job even after completing PhD a while ago" like OMG WDYM NO JOBS? Ppl are like, tech companies don't even know I-O psychologists are capable of such stuffs like market or ppl analyst or anything HR related.
Now I don't wanna do clinical or neuro. The former cuz I lack patience and I have ADHD and the latter cuz of less job prospects. So please please tell me if there's job prospects or not.
Previously there was already a problem. MONEY. Oh my god ig that's the biggest problem cuz my parents won't be able to afford a pvt uni for me to study in and there are very few govt colleges in India offering I-O psychology specialization. It's just Applied Psychology everywhere. So gng, tell me, will an elective of I-O psychology in Applied Psychology in the 3rd and 4th sem work as an alternative to a masters in I-O psychology?
I also have kept microbiology as an option but max family and friends keep saying that subject doesn't have much prospect unless you pursue a PhD in it. Tell me abt that too.
PLEASE HELP ME OUT GNG
