<p>If you hate statistics then industrial/organizational psychology is not for you.</p>
<p>Industrial/organizational psychology is the application of psychology to corporate and business goals. I/O psychologists often design the application quizzes that applicants take when applying for a job. They also collect information and analyze it to determine how to improve workplace productivity, attitudes, and behaviors. While I/O psychologists use qualitative and quantitative methods, any good I/O program will require you to take advanced coursework in both and most companies will want to hire an I/O psychologist who knows how to use quantitative analysis.</p>
<p>The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the median annual income of I/O psychologists is about $124,000. However, that median is skewed wildly upwards by I/O psychologists in managerial and consulting positions - although that is where the majority of the jobs are. The Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychologists also does a salary survey: <a href=“http://www.siop.org/2009SIOPIncomeSurvey.pdf[/url]”>http://www.siop.org/2009SIOPIncomeSurvey.pdf</a> You can stand to make a good income as an I/O psychologist, although I would wager that as a first year MS graduate you could probably really expect to make $60-90K depending on where in the country you were.</p>
<p>If you hate statistics and you’re not a “science” person in terms of using the scientific method and thinking carefully about how to construct a good experiment or study, then you shouldn’t pursue this field because that’s what I/O psychologists do.</p>
