Around an hour in he says something about social work being a job that hammers people into the ground, and then a few minutes later he goes onto mention the PsyD degree. Well, over the course of the first year of my masters of social work program, I realized my supervisors and those working in the field, and even a lot of my classmates, were very unhappy people burning it at both ends in their work lives. That partially contributed to the decision to apply to doctoral programs. He’s also right about not choosing where you go to graduate school. I got into 1 of the 8 PsyD programs I applied to. And you’re damn right I’m taking that opportunity.

At 21:17, he says that you should just go into business if you’re after status. What does that mean? Does he mean to open up a practice or consult organizations once the Ph.D is obtained or to not get a Ph.D at all?

[@izzyayoubi6382]

He’s referring to setting up a private practice.

[@psylife3831]

Psychologists make a pretty good income. Many students want to be one because of it. Peterson is recommending students to just go to business school where they are more likely to make a higher income instead of going through the long and treacherous length of a clinical psychology Ph.D for the students who are in it for money.

[@ZeljkoNaic]

Although your opinion seems like a rational way to think, the way I see this is that it's actually detrimental to the society to have large disparities between social groups. I don't want to elaborate on this because it seems obvious to me that a society should support low end of population in as many areas as possible in order to maintain the social equilibrium, using means other than brute force. So in case you don't want to have a lot of people around you that are hungry, and hungry people can be problematic in many ways, you should consider a way of supporting them so that your own life circumstances become better. Social support is not really altruistic when seen that way, it's actually very selfish. Same applies to universities, and almost any other area of social interaction.

Dr Peterson, would you consider doing lectures on statistics? Once you’re less busy with your book tour and various debates/talks of course

[@movienight6437]

What do you mean by "my writing is poor"

[@boris3866]

haha big P has a video where he basically says yeah your writing's definitely bad, say what you mean and check your text on increasing levels of detail like 8 times. He probably saw that. I know I have. He thinks it's a real important skill, what with the logos and all that.

[@athanasios328]

Thank you so much

[@lourencoffernandes]

Does anyone knows in what minute Dr. Peterson speaks about something like “clients will tell you things in which their lives may depend on. That’s a big responsibility. And responsibility is a good thing.”? Thank you! Cheers!

this is speculation but you can really see the difference in JPs face and appearance since he changed his diet and addressed his autoimmune disorder. His face is all swollen and inflamed in that picture it seems, although he must be carrying a few more pounds here than he does now.

Im not that capable of emotional support but Im fascinated by the human mind and philosophical questions. I like to analyze and solve complex problems; being of use. Im aspiring to be clinical psychologist so it is a relief to hear one must be detached from the patient since that comes for me naturally. Is it normal to study psychology but not particularly LOVE people lol

[@EasierSaidwithDito]

uniikkiz I’d suggest you not become a clinician if you’re that apathetic about people lmao. You could still do something in psychology. A good clinician is detached from client suffering in that they’re not necessarily a friend. A big part of the job is emotional mirroring and that’s easier if you genuinely feel with the client

[@TheDreamStar95]

I don't think you need to get emotional to provide emotional support. As long as you can LISTEN to them and actually take their problems SERIOUSLY, the client will find levity in being able the process things verbally (something they may not be able to do with anyone they know). Providing an alternative way of looking at a problem or helping them to take a large problem and break it down into smaller problems can go a long way towards clients overcoming emotionally difficult issues. These things don't require you to get emotional. Clients aren't looking for pity parties, they're looking for solutions that will make their life better than it is now. It's especially important to be able to build TRUST with the client, which means being friendly, being gentle, and being patient. Being patient includes watching clients make very slow progress, potentially across many years. As long as don't get fed up or irritated by clients (or at least control it) and can build trust with them, you should be fine.

[@feelthepony]

you can despise human beings, but you must be an ace on empathy,or you re going to misdiagnose a ton of people.

[@uniikkiz]

Thank you for the replies. Especially I found Mortimer Mages comment very informative and helpful. I am not in no way blind to peoples feelings and I do like to help people(paradoxical isn't it). I might of course consider going for research or clinical neuropsychology as well; some more introspection is needed...

[@feelthepony]

[@danielleeljohnson2628]

Damn, I've been listening to Dr. Peterson for years but still, I'm 32, I haven't solved the most important issue in my life: WHAT AM I? Living in Belarus, a dictatorship aggressive regime, being married twice with two kids, I found myself in misery and despair cause I haven't found MY PLACE and MY JOB. I've been an English teacher for 8 years so far and so sick and tired of it, never liked it but took it up just to get some education and have something to eat...been struggling through self-studying Programming, understanding that it's unreal to beat it with 0 free time and lack of money, so completely lost that I've stopped even believing that such a person as Dr. Peterson could help me. I wish I'd heared his lectures when I was 15. To understand what's really important and at least to try to find my field before starting to chase women...

Hey! Thanks for such an informative video! I am 24 right now, and an engineering graduate. I'm really interested in psychology and want to become a clinical psychologist. I also want to teach psychology as a professor as I also love teaching. Can you PLEASE guide me how to move forward! Any help would be appreciated!

[@rjerezz8121]

You can take the necessary prerequisites for a Psy.D program. With a Psy.D, it is much more holistic on how well you did on your classes / extra curricular participation during undergrad rather than research experience. Once you take those prerequisites, you can start asking your psychology professors (form good relationships with them) for letters of recommendation. Boom. 5 years time you’ll be a Doctor of Clinical Psychology!
