I'm not sure of what part of the world you are in, but it is gonna be stretching it to get six digits with a psychology degree. My wife is at the tail end of grad school to get her PhD (psy-d) in psychology.... she has a bachelors in marketing.. and a bachelors in some sort of biology... In north America, the only places that we have seen 100k+ jobs are with Dept. of Defense contractors(thats with the PhD/psy-d)... state and federal jobs w/ the PhD or psy-d are starting at 50k-70k depending on the location....
I don't want to sound negative because I'm sure the positions you are looking for are there, but they are gonna be hard to find.
Maybe you should take a class in reality! For the life of me, I cant figure out why people think that just because they have a collage degree that they get to start at the top of the corp. ladder. It seems like no one wants to work their way their anymore. I'm not saying that your efforts in school is not working your way there, I'm saying that it is just the start of you journey to the top!
The truth is that I would and have hired a HS grad. with 5 yrs experience over a recent collage grad. with just a BA.
Find something that interests you, and go for it! Move up, find something better, move on, experience is whats gonna get you to the position you want! Being the best at what you do doesn't hurt either.

There're aren't many places (if any) that would pay $100k to someone just out of school with a BA in psychology. Your best bet for that would be to start your own business.

HAHAHAhahaaa...*gasp*
Entry level jobs do not pay 100K. That is why they are called "entry level".
And, no one is going to give you 100K to learn on the job, no matter how many degrees you earned in school.

Religion. Start your own. Or pick an existing religion and become a televangelist.

Try California, but keep in mind that you'll pay triple your salary for housing.
