It's working out for me. Not even done with my master's and got job offers left and right. But then, I do the sorts of humanities that people are interested in, e.g., explosions; death; suffering.

A good university will have psychology in their life sciences faculty rather than humanities. But still the phd part is largely useless unless you want to be an academic. If you have the option to just do masters and become a practitioner you should do that instead. Or you should not do psychology at all, but at the phd stage it is too late for second thoughts.

Lol, I'm an IO psych. It's pretty good money, takes a fair amount of salesmanship though and the big names are starting to monopolise the really ridiculous money.

Don't worry, research finds that treating your workers well is usually actually the best thing for the employer. Ironically the most successful corporations adopt many socialist values internally. Most of the time IO psych is about trying to impress a CEO with enough statistics that they will consider spending money for their employees benefit.

It can't work globally because you need both a selection process and the option of firing people in order to keep the balance of workers to parasites in check.
