Yep, I'm starting to see how useful studying psychology would have been.

I'm 15 years into a tech career and it's becoming increasingly obvious that the hard problems are not usually tech problems...

It's not psychology, it's attentiveness.

I don't know, I think there's more to be said for actual experience and someone's attitude more than education. Having a deep understanding of psychology can only help with analyzing issues and understanding people's motivations, but there's still going to be a disconnect from academic understanding of a subject, and actual experience and connection with a challenging area of learning.

Or to put it more simply, in my last job as a manager I hired two people who had psychology degrees or majors for a technical/data position on a team, hoping for the very same kind of understanding and empathy with each other that you would think an education in human psychology would provide, and those people turned out to have the most issues with others because of their own lack of real-world experiencing socializing and maintaining relationships with others.
