This kind of psychology is very common. Actually, this is not your main problem, is it? Do you feel that psychology is not what you think? Right? Many people have this feeling after studying psychology systematically, and feel that it is not what they want. And I can't learn at first, and I don't understand many theories, so I'm a little depressed.
It's actually quite normal.
General psychology is actually the most boring basic theory course in psychology, which is difficult for beginners to learn. This is normal. General psychology is very simple for the later stage of study, but if you are a novice in psychology, the course of general psychology is difficult to swallow, because the content in this book is the most extensive, but various theories often talk a little, that is to say, the content of general psychology.
However, when you have read all the professional textbooks, you will find that general psychology is not difficult, because all kinds of knowledge are interlinked.
It's normal that you are a beginner now. Don't force yourself to understand if you don't understand. It's not good.
When you learn to learn, you will slowly connect various theories. You can try what I told you if you don't believe me, and then you won't feel this way.
You can read all your professional textbooks and read them carefully. If you have read all the textbooks, general psychology will naturally pass. However, this method is probably reluctant for you who are new to the university, because it takes perseverance to finish reading. It is not for you to simply finish reading, but for you to "drive fast" and finish all the textbooks in advance.
As for your so-called job, it is still far away from you. Who knows what this society will become after you graduate? Whether you can get a job or not has nothing to do with your major. In addition to technical majors, other majors in universities are basically treated equally, only looking at diplomas, because this major is not a technical major at all, just like many liberal arts students.
The prospect is good, but I wonder if you can catch up when you graduate. You can't say for sure. On the other hand, psychology has developed rapidly in China, but its foundation is too weak and people's mental health awareness is not high. Maybe you will see a special psychological clinic on the street when you graduate. As for now, there is basically no. Because psychology has not been formally developed in China for several years.
Say now, in 20 12 years, the graduates of this major in China have basically crossed the line, but it can't be called completely crossing the line, because some people need psychology as executives, such as organizational management. If you have the foundation of organizational psychology, is it also a kind of capital? So it is also useful. This is not crossing the line. It doesn't mean that you must be a psychologist after graduating from psychology. It's not really a cross-line.
As I said before, now other people are basically looking for diplomas, regardless of majors (except technical ones), so it is not a question of whether they can find a good job. According to you, there is no need for students who graduate from so many branches of other sciences to live and eat. Because in practical work, there are few abstract theories used. Imagine a graduate of physical chemistry. If they do find a job, how much knowledge is useful? If others follow the major, there is no need to live in science, so many people graduate, but in fact there are too few engineers in society. Others are what you call "cross-bank".
It's basically the same. Think about it. Even if you have a job, what is your undergraduate education level? For a psychologist like you, the knowledge of undergraduates is not enough. Education and technology are two different things.
So, measure it yourself. Actually, any major is the same. The future and the present are two different things. Just keep your feet on the ground. Don't drift until tomorrow. Tomorrow is beautiful, but beauty depends on whether you are down-to-earth today.
