What do you enjoy doing? Life is too short and you spend too much time working to not love what you're doing.
Think about it...and then describe, as minutely as possible, what your perfect job would consist of. If you don't know what you're looking for, you haven't a chance in 10K of finding it.
A degree in Psychology pretty much prepares you for nothing specifically but a lot of things in general. The big thing is actually having a degree...its a ticket that tells employers that you can learn and that you can finish what you start.
If you really have no inclination toward anything in particular but want a job that pays potentially VERY well, don't discount the skilled trades (plumber, electrician, etc). They don't require a degree but they do require significant amounts of training and a defined path (that takes time) to master status. Also, skilled trades are secure fields - they can't readily be outsourced to other places in the world. Another benefit is that while you may work overtime, you aren't expected to take your work home with you, as you do in most knowledge-based fields of work. Also, once you've attained at least journeyman status, you can always come back to it as a failsafe if you decide to pursue some other endeavor and that pursuit doesn't pan out for some reason.

I recently found a great job on JobCorps online. 15-20 bucks an hour and it's right down my alley (psych). There are a lot fo good psych jobs out there if you look hard enough. It really depends on what you want to do. I am planning on being a play therapist, so I'm working with an autistic kid right now to get a better idea of the field. Just today in fact I got a job offer to work at an institue for autistic kids when the subject came up over dinner. A lot of it is just connections. Find people that know people and you can get hooked into the social mainstream. That's where you'll find the jobs. Plus you can always work for the government - you know they'll be around for a while.

You got the degree in the wrong field.
Its subjects are now tormenting you. First psychology, then journalism, still not satisfied, want to jump on something else.
These are result of too much of your own psychologic medicine
To start with, do yoga/meditation, try to forget your acedemic past
become a humble but just educated persons, act like one, think like one. Start life all over again, afresh.

Get a job with the FBI and become a profiler. This is a great job for someone with your training. Contact the FBI and try it. This world needs more men like John Douglas and Robert Ressler, and another profiler I read about, Vorpage , I believe his name is.
Profilers are correct almost always about the type of person who commits certain crimes. It's an art, more than a science, but one that is committed to serving the people by trying to stop the evil crimes that happen to helpless, innocent people.

Can I be honest here, how in the world can you have degrees in two(2) fields such as those, and your grammer and spelling be so terrible. Is it English, I suppose I could understand that,but Answers has a spell check,I can't understand that. Well, if you're filthy rich, I wouldn't worry to much, on the other hand, you're going to have to keep the journalism gig until you can get into you're chosen field. GOOD LUCK.....LATER

My degree is in journalism although I'm about to go into full-time ministry. The ability to write has been one of the best skills I've developed, and I can use it no matter what occupation I'm in. Until you can find another job, I'd suggest doing all you can to develop your writing skills. It'll pay off huge dividends in the end.
