I can not take someone seriously when they start their sentence with “well I have a degree in psychology and…”
DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW FUCKED UP PSYCHOLOGY IS.
HOW CAN YOU CLAIM AUTHORITY FROM THE FACT THAT YOU SPEND 4 TO 6 YEARS GETTING INDOCTRINATED IN THAT SHIT.
I TRUST YOUR OPINION LESS KNOWING THAT YOU THINK YOUR DEGREE IS GROUND TO SPEAK WITH AUTHORITY.
(And I am not saying you can’t learn useful shit from studying psychology at all, but like, it involves a hell of a lot of weeding through bad sexist ableist racist transphobic homophobic shit and unlearning all of that. And if you think saying a thing like “I have a degree in psychology
“ or “I worked as a …” gives you authority you have obviously done none of that critical analysis and unlearning and chances are what is about to come out of your mouth is absolutely terrible.)
