My thesis topic is recycling and other proenvironmental behaviors. I am very interested in this topic. I have experience giving memory & intelligence tests. I am starting to get into politics too.

Aside from the obvious choice (grad school for Ph.D.), and possibly a research assistantship (bad pay, hard to get). Possibly marketing, if you excelled in stat, particularly if you have a few other business courses under your belt.
You will probably have a hard time selling it, but if you find firms that have your "dream job," you could take a secretarial/clerical/computer position then show everyone how much you know about market research (which is social psych research for profit), and get promoted. Also, network hard.

I would suppose that in a world of marketing that someone with experience conducting and designing research would be an asset. Teaching isn't so bad, it is what I have chosen as a profession(with a psych degree).

Become a Beach Bumette like a lot of other sheepskin holders end up being. Go to school, graduate and end up having no direction.
