In other words, might as well get credit for how many psychology classes I've done LOL. (Pretty much every general ed class I did was in psychology.)

Because some agents will say they want one thing on their MSWL but sell incredibly different things. Like saying they want book club litfic books but you check and all they've sold is nonfiction.
