Yeah, psychologists have managed worse than techies, because psychology have a more complex object to explore. They even cannot find a good methodology for 150+ years.

There is an alternative explanation: psychologists are less intelligent than techies, but I do not believe in that. There are a lot of tech people in psychology research.

There's also no output to psychology, so there's nothing to validate you. Especially because it doesn't matter if you get psychology wrong - who cares if you don't know how your mind works? It doesn't care, it's going to keep thinking.

But also, a psychology degree isn't used for becoming a "psychologist", right? That's either an academic or a kind of talk therapist. I think the people I know with that degree work in HR.
