what is the best and quickest job i can get with a psychology degree?

Question

BSc degree, no experience,

Answer 1

McDonalds, Wal-mart.

No really. I assume you had a specialty. Try to find something based on that.
I have a friend with a BS in Psychology that went into sales, and is doing pretty well.

Answer 2

You can get an entry level position with most companies, just like any other new graduate, unless you are in a specialty field. Decide whether you really want to pursue a career in clinical psychology or not, if you are not sure, go the business route for awhile and get some useful skills. Getting a masters or PhD in psychology only helps if you want to work with patients, and there is no guarantee of a high income! Once there, it becomes more about earning prestige than $$.

Answer 3

If you mean an unpaid job(which am sure you dont) you could join an NGO and work and serve the needy. As for the paid job, there are no shortcuts. Psychologists deal with Human mind, the most elusive entity and the least they can do before looking for a quickest job that has to be best at the same time is to do an Mphil. or a Masters in the same. good luck.

Answer 4

You could probably pursue a career in Marketing/Advertising. Market Analysis deals with consumer behavior and society trends, but it may not be a "quick" job to get. You could also go the education route (which is a "quick" route in some states in desperate need of teachers) and work at a school as a teacher or school counselor assistant (you will need a master's degree to work as a school or college counselor). You could also try to get a job as a research assistant at a lab, and if that doesn't work, try pharmaceutical sales - this way you can get involved with the medical field while making good money.

Answer 5

I hope this doesn't sound too harsh - my boyfriend has a degree in psychology from a very reputable university, but even he says that they should tell you when you decide to major in psychology that you won't be able to find a job (in your field, at least) unless you continue on into a master's program or medical school. It sucks but it's just one of those majors that you can't really do anything all that specific with.

Answer 6

Do you want the best job? Or do you want the quickest?

With a BS, you can't get a job working as a psychologist. There are jobs that use those skills, though. These include jobs as salespeople, market researchers, professional poker players and personal assistants.

Answer 8

Best way to get work experience with that is to go to your local mental health agency. They usually don't pay well but give you some bennies. Once you have a couple years under your belt, then go private (either with someone or on your own)
