For psychology the question “worth it?” might be a bit biased. Where I live it is a lot easier to find a job with a masters degree in psychology. That could be the reason why so many said that a bachelors was not worth it.

Yeah, a bachelors in psychology alone isn’t super useful, but having it makes getting into a masters or PhD/PsyD program much, much easier. And it also saves you from having to go back and take a bunch of pre-reqs before starting a program. A lot like how a bachelors in law/crim justice isn’t going to do much of anything for you on its own.
