I'm wondering because I'm a psychology major, and I know there is a wide variety of jobs avaliable for people with a masters in psychology besides being a psycholoogist. I'm just interested hearing about it from someone other than my psych professors


thanks!

If you're considering doing anything with marketing, end it now and kill yourself.

marketing's not my thing

got my BA in child psychology at Hofstra University in '03. Gets you nowhere without going to grad school. I have rent, car payments etc...so 2 years later I am management at UPS.

I'm taking psychology right now, and I'm considering it as a major.

just plan on going to grad school if you continue. Also psych grad is hard to get into. a family friend of mine was valedictorian in HS. went to a real good school for undergrad (cant remember which one) and got real good grades. when he applied for psych grad didnt get into his top three choices. not trying to talk you out of it. just give it good thought. i probably wouldnt have done it.

luckily at my school i can get my masters in only 5 years rather than 6. so i plan on taking advantage of that

The latest girl I was dating was a psych major. She works at the mall.

Don't major in psych, major in philosophy! Then you can be a guru or something...

Basket weaving.

maybe i'll minor in education....

fuck i'm gonna be poor the rest of my life

i'm a psych major for my undergrad, but i plan on going into mental health rehab for my masters.

the best place to look for information is the APA website http://www.apa.org/

I graduated with a BA in Industrial/Organizational Psychology with a Business minor. I loved it. You can get your masters in I/O but I'm getting my MBA instead. Clinical psychology is what most people think of when they think of psych but it's so incredibly competitive... probably because that's what most people interested in psychology know about! I/O was a lot of fun for me because I'm interested in how businesses become successful or not based on things like employee relations, relationships with customers, competitors etc. There's a lot involved in I/O but my biggest interest was in employees.

Yes, I am one of the many great unwashed masses who has a useless psych degree. To be honest, I didn't know what I wanted to do at the time (still don't really) and thought it would be general enough for me to go to grad school, which was the original plan. I went for one semester in Business and utterly fucking hated it. So I quit and have yet to return. I've considered I/O for a while as well, I really enjoyed it as an undergrad.

So basically I enjoyed the classes and found it really interesting, but unless you're going to grad school I wouldn't plan on it directly helping you get a job when you get out of school.

At least you're not trying to major in acting or film like me. If I get a degree in production I'll have to pay my own money to work.

Betta get that hustle on, g-money
