Humor indeed because this is inaccurate! Grossly inaccurate!
Watching this you'd think psychologists would end up homeless upon graduation or something. Yes, I understand the distortions are there to arouse sympathy for life of a student but psychologist can easily make six figures after 5-10 years of experience (less or more depending on your connections, business savvy, etc), and no way is that comparable with a master's grad.
Yes, school is really hard. And if you go to school for a childish reason, like to be called a doctor, you probably shouldn't become a psychologist. And yes loans are brutal but many programs offer tuition remission and a monthly stipend. I'm talking about PhD programs. If you're Psy.D, you have my condolences.
In short, if you can survive grad school and get licensed, things get better and better and better. If you teach classes as a prof, well, that's one of the greatest jobs there is, in terms of job security. And respect. And prestige. If you're a psychologist in private practice, again, ch-ching! I know a guy who makes 200k and he's not even a good therapist.
If you want to work exclusively with the poor, don't have any business sense, or don't finish grad school or get licensed, yes, real tough for you, and I'm sorry. But this video, it's funny because it's so far from reality and it's mostly inaccurate.
Not every guy in grad school is gay or married by the way. That's homophobic and just stupid. I'm a guy and I'm neither gay nor married.
