Besides being a counselor, what other sort of jobs can you get with a psychology degree?
Asked by katie4882
I am thinking about changing my major to Psychology, but I'm not really interested in being a counselor to other people. The field is fascinating to me, and I wonder what other opportunities I might have, if I were to get a degree in it?

Best Answer:
In most states, you need at least a Masters degree to work as a psychologist. In my opinion, Psychology is a great major for someone who wants to continue on to medical school or to graduate work in the field, but a Bachelor's alone in Psychology is less useful as far as finding a specialized job. I was in your situation at one point, and I strongly suggest trying to explore what you want to do as a career before picking a major. Perhaps pick a minor in something more specialized to accompany your Psychology major, and maybe that would be helpful if you're looking to get a job. Maybe in Business or Economics if you're interested in that? Or Education?

hi...having a degree..u can be a hr specialist..research assistant...n if u re lucky..maybe an entry level psychologist. And a host of other jobs: i suggest u borrow a bk or search the internet for jobs for a psych major... But seriously, if u wana be a psychologist, u have to have a masters or p.h.d., and most places require u being registered with a professional psychological asssociation..yah..tts it...hmmn..probably u can ask around or interact with psychologists to find out about their job or work nature...u may like it or not...
