Hey, asshole, quit talking about me like I'm not here!

spoiler
For those who aren't aware, the last time I checked (hoo boy, this is getting close to two decades ago now... fuck me) approximately 1 in 18 college students graduate with a degree in psychology. That's freaking 6% of the college graduates! Kind of understandable when the bachelor version of psychology is essentially the degree of human interest. 'Come find out how and why humans are funny/stupid/doing X/interesting' is a powerful lure when you're surveying a bunch of different classes and don't have a degree/career in mind yet.Meanwhile, it's harder to get into psychology doctorate programs than medical school. When I was looking into it, I think it was somewhere in the ballpark of ~5-10% of applicants to doctoral programs would get accepted. It looks like recently it's sitting at 12%. Meanwhile, medical schools are around 44.5% right now.
Now, yes, I could show the higher acceptance rates to masters programs for psychology listed in that APA link, but that gets messier and needs more nuance than the bare bones I wanted to throw up there.
