I second what RU OX Alum said.
My undergraduate major was Microbiology and Cell Science. I changed majors a few times, but picked this one early in my sophomore year and sticked with it.
I am now a children's librarian at a public library.
That said, I also handle the 500s (Natural Sciences) and answer the science questions when necessary. So it came in very handy.

Well I am doing applied psyh. but I got creative and I am modifing my major into an interdisciplinary major with the two concentration in Psych and Helath education. My plan is to the master's in Public/Community Health and work with people with mental health issues as well educate them on how thier mental health effects thier physical health.
I see psych/poli sci [my bf has a degree in that and he is going to law school] and libreal arts majors as frosting on a cake to what your expertise really is on the inside [hence the cake] so verasitlity is easier with Libreal Arts majors
Just my .20 cents

After two degrees (either a BA/MA or a MA/PhD) you know the faculty, they know you and you're probably not being challenged the same way. You know the program very very well.
Some of it is just snobbery, but it's also realistic. State U. has one way of teaching their Psych. program and U of State teaches another way. To be well rounded and knowledgable in the field, you want multiple experiences.
It's not a REAL rule. It's a social thing. But some schools/professors will encourage you to look outward as well.

But what if I got my bachelors, masters, phd all at one state university and then applied to the very same state university to teach there? Won't my chances be higher since i'm very familiar with their system and all.

No. I think by then the Psych Dept. at that University by then would have you diagnosed with seperation issues.
You're transfering anyway, what difference does it make?

Should you ever want to work elsewhere.. you'll have a hard time getting a job. It's considered incestuous to an extent.

My transfer doesn't really mean much. I am transferring from one California State University to another.

It does make a difference. Unless all of the faculty commutes back and forth.

A) He probably STARTED at $25-$30k (if that).
B) He pretty much got lucky won the professor lottery, because this is definitely not typical.
