What can you do with a Psychology degree?
I will be finishing my undergraduate BSc Experimental Psychology degree in one year, but don't know what jobs you can do related to Psychology with it after, without having to do further study. Any help appreciated!
Answers:
~Let's see: High school grad, 3 years of college - looking to UKQnA.com for advice. In your case, the degree is probably useless. Should have thought of that before you selected a major and wasted all that money on tuition.
By all means, DO NOT visit your student advisor or placement office and stay far far far away from in-practice courses, fellowships and internships. And by no means should you stop by at a local mental health center or like facility to discuss career opportunities.
Gets tough when mom and dad pull the plug on paying the bills, doesn't it?
I know quite a few people with a psychology degree working as Residential Support Workers in a mental health unit.
Hope this helps :-)
work on the 3rd floor
wash bedpans in a psych hospital, unless you get a doctorate, this degree is not worth much
1-You can either teach psychology to high school students
2- you can implement pychological guidence services at a school.
3- You can get a job at a company at Human Resources Department.
That is all i can say now at 01.17 a.m.
I did E.P. am now on the dole! Good Luck!
With a few origami lessons you could make a hat or a flower or a bird.
A lot of jobs require graduates without specifying what degree is needed. However, if you did feel up to studying further, Clinical Psychology is a really good and interesting area to get into.
How about a school councilor

well, i have a MA in psychology and i work as an administrative assistant. But if you aren't as desperate for a job as me, and take your time, you can find jobs in consulting for corporate firms, you can find a job at a university as a research assistant/project director, you can do tons of non-profit jobs, maybe even case management.
Besides being a bartender?
You can't do anything with a psychology degree, unless you get at least your masters degree. A doctorate degree or an MD is necessary for most of the really good jobs in psychology involving counselling or therapy. A masters is sufficient sometimes for teaching psychology at a university level. To teach anything to high schools students, you will need a BEd as well, not just an undergraduate in psychology.
Human Service Jobs at the Undergraduate Level. About 30% of North Central College psychology graduates enter human service fields, working as counselors in such settings as group homes for troubled adolescents, schools for emotionally disturbed children, and psychiatric hospital wards. You might be surprised to learn that paraprofessional positions filled by individuals with bachelor's degrees in psychology often involve the greatest degree of direct contact with people in need. For example, the counselors at a home for battered women or crisis center will often have bachelor's degrees and spend the majority of their time directly answering crisis telephone calls, counseling women who come to the shelter, and helping people locate other kinds of help they might need, such as advocacy services. If working with troubled individuals in these sorts of settings appeals to you but you do not plan on graduate study, you should follow the course of study recommended under the Human Services and Counseling track.
Without further study, your options, as you probably know are limitied. Simple options include:
(1) Camp counselor.
(2) High School counselor.
(3) Research assistant.
(4) Teaching assistant to college psychology professors.
you ask such a profound question on the web?
more school probably.
there is no more marketable undergraduate degree than psychology - if you know how to use it! You can teach at Vo-Tech schools, and NSG schools, you can go in the service as an officer in the medical service corp and occupy a variety of positions in hospitals, teaching, testing, psych clinics.. You can easily be certified as a Addictions Counselor, you can be a psychometrist, proctor, work at ACT, SAT, ETS, and Peirsons NCS. United Way (you'd be a "psychologist" whose position is limited to doing their statistics): you can be a psychometrist, add a phlebotomy class and you can do insurance physicals, you can go straight to supervision/management at at any mental health center or facility for geriatrics/MR, ReSearch Assistant at Johnson & Johnson, Procter and Gamble, etc. You can work as a Research Assistant at major universities the world over, get a small business loan and open an alternative therapies clinic,.the opportunities are endless. However, having a psych degree myself, I can assure you that if you advertise you and your credentials seeking a position as a domestic, the richest people in town will call you to babysit their children (and tutor) at $20.00 an hour and up. You'll wind up working for the whole family and running the household. Because people like that are typically well educated and know that psychology is the most challenging of all undergraduate degrees. Your people skills are probably outstanding. You'll get paid a lot, and have the chance to help, and make a positive difference in the life and happiness of a family.
You can wipe your asshole with it or make a plane out of it, that would keep the retards happy.

if you fold it right, itll stop your beer sloshing on the table. now tell me, how do you feel about this?
teh ladder to greatness is long and tortuous, so how can we comprehend all which is taught to us? its a crazy maze, with many obscure and dead end plays.that'll haunt us..in so many ways.in the midnight hour, on the purple haze.
