What if I told you that a degree in Psychology doesn't necessarily mean you have to be a Psychologist

I was discussing something along this line with my soon-to-be MA advisor at Syracuse. Decent jobs as a history professor are hard to come by and this is especially true if your dissertation is written on something that's out of fashion, like what mine will likely be on. My perspective is that, while I would like to become a professor of history, it's not the only job that I could get with a PhD in history. I'm not pursuing a PhD merely because I want to become a professor--I want to get a PhD in history because I want to experience the process and do some original research on something I'm interested in. If the history professor thing doesn't work out for whatever reason, I could always try to get into the federal government or (god forbid) the corporate world.
This whole mentality of the Bachelor's degree as a job training certificate misses the point. Employers want educated people, not somebody who received a degree by plugging their nose and covering their eyes for four years. Of course, graduate school is different in this regard. I've noticed that many undergraduate students who plan to go on to med or pharmacy school or plan to pursue engineering in graduate school don't realize that they can pursue the liberal arts during their undergraduate education and still make it into med school after they graduate (hell, as long as they pass the MCAT, they'd probably be a shoe-in for their having a broader educational background than other applicants).

Death has come
Well, i really don't know what the fuck i want. Its just psychology seems the most appealing, also i doubt id have trouble dealing with anyone. Im just saying i don't expect to become rich and i could care less, I'm more focused on getting money to at least live off of, thats my point, didn't mean to be an asshole, you were just coming off as a cunt CIG. At least to me

Had another funny day today.
I was walking to work, when I was stopped by two younger girls, looked to be about 19-20, who were handing out cards about Jesus. They rambled on, very chipper and excited like, for a good five minutes before I politely said I had to get to work, and thanks anyways.
They then asked me if I believe in Jesus, and without thinking I just laughed and walked off; and I think I offended them.
Oops. When I got to work I told my boss about it in amusement, and her response was "You should have just told them you worship Satan" and I lost it, laughing my ass off.

Sounds like the opening premise to a fucking Troma film. Be careful.

Just drew up a plan for the next week. Didn't end up getting an apartment, so the (ex) woman and I are having to move into a bedroom at her mother's house. I'm not pleased about it... but it is what it is.
SATURDAY
☆ File income taxes
☆ Work 1:30 - 6:30
MONDAY
☆ Obtain a bank statement
☆ Work 2 - 7
TUESDAY
☆ Go uptown to get polyethylene plastic bins for moving
☆ Work 3 - 7
WEDNESDAY
☆ Buy new padlock from Home Hardware for the new bedroom
☆ Get the home key for the new place copied for myself
☆ Clean new bedroom top-to-bottom
THURSDAY
☆ Move our stuff; bins first, then dresser, then bed
After moving our shit on Thursday, I will finally get to relax a bit.

My head is bloody, but unbowed.
I was going to ask something but realized that might be too personal...
You don't have to answer, but why not just live at home? I remember you saying you didn't like your girlfriend's mom very much.

I still love the girl tbh. We likely will get back together at some point, but right now it's just friends. *shrugs*
I really don't. But:
- I really don't want to move back with my parents, just out of principle
- If I did move back with my parents, I'd have to quit my job as I lack regular transportation (I don't actually drive. I got struck by a car doing 80 a few years back, which sorta left me traumatized by the whole aspect of driving)
- I wouldn't be able to see the ex-gf often if at all (maybe once every couple of weeks tops) if I did.
Basically I'm just trying to hold on during a bad situation so it doesn't turn into a worse situation. This move is only supposed to be temporary as well, to buy us a month or two to find an actual apartment.
Simply put, without a roommate, I can't. The job market is fucked up here, which makes it staggeringly hard to get even a job as a grocery store service clerk (my current job).
Which is why I want to go back to school to do a trade, like welding or some shit. Something I can actually make decent money with.

I'm still waiting for my coworker. He's already 3 hours late. Is this normal elsewhere? Three hours seem like quite a lot of time. He claimed to be on his way in a metro like 90 minutes ago. However he could've undertaken the whole journey to here three times in 90 minutes so he was obviously lying. I don't mind that he's late but I don't understand why he's fucking lying to me. I don't like when people make an idiot out of me, especially when they're friends.
I know I'm a funny faggot and all but hey show some respect.
