Answer 2

If you are doing the degree to get a job in the field then you need to think carefully about whether you will be abe to afford to do a postgraduate degree in a specific area. The psychology degree is very general and covers all the major branches, so you need to train in each specialism afterwards. It is probably better to do a BSc(hons) rather than a BA as this gives you GBR status (graduate basis for registration) with the British Psychological Association. If you are doing the degree just for the interest and the general level of education then you can use it to go into a variety of fields. There is a large statistical portion to the course and this allows entrance to the Office for National Statisitics as a researcher or statistician. Other graduates go inot fields such as the probation service, social services and the caring professions. You can get a job as a psychological assistant but these are usually quite low paid and considered to be a stepping stone to post-graduate study and specialisation. A lot of psychology graduates retrain in another field enirely and are left feeling disillusioned with the whole experience. Personnally I graduated 7 years ago and have not worked in the field at all. I retrained as a jeweller, but am now considering the probation service as a career move! I enjoyed the whole course and the statistics become easy if you stick at it, I just wish I could afford to do all the post graduate training that I would need to work as a qualified psychologist.
