If you uni has organizational psychology and decision making courses then your psychology degree could quickly translate into a fast track management position or marketing and sales. Effective communication and managing skills are always in demand and can be quite profitable. These general skills
plus determination and the ability to learn an industry will work in your favor. This also gives you the freedom to work in a field that interests you. Every industry needs people people. Who wants to be an accountant any way?

Simply having a degree will get you a job almost anywhere. A BS in psychology can get you a job in advertising, media relations, community relations, advertising, law enforcement, human resources -- that's just off the top of my head. I'm was an English major. I landed a job in social services. It proves just having paper will land you in the least likely places.

Not many, with just a bachelor's degree. To get a decent job in this area, you really need at least a master's degree.With a bachelor's degree you can see if one of the ad agencies will hire you to formulate ads for their customers.

There's not many jobs for people with b.a. psychology. The jobs which are around don't pay very well. The average psych major after graduation makes about $30K. The average bachelors degree after graduation makes about $36K.

you can teach highschool (in some states they will let you do alternative certification) or you can work as a caseworker/that sort of thing in child care and public health... there are tons of jobs in social services.

first off, learn to spell psychology.
secondly, just forget about it. almost EVERYBODY wants to major in psych, thinking they're going to change the world, when in fact it's an oversaturated market, and gives you limited potential for job openings.
