[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shocking stats. We hear so much here about humanities majors who thrived in the business world, but nothing about Psych majors that did. I never heard a colleague in 30 years at a Fortune 10 company who admitted to being a Psych major. Pray tell about some famous Psych major captains of industry.[/quote] I work in marketing research and know a lot of psychology majors. And I routinely hire interns for my departments and they are probably psych majors about half the time. Higher job levels, yes, probably have an MBA or other advanced degrees related to the field (I do, with a marketing undergrad). But a psych major with good stats classes and research methods is a good start for marketing research jobs at research firms, ad agencies, and in-house. [/quote] market research is one of the lowest paid professions in marketing. -signed a former market research major who learned how to code instead[/quote]
