Answer 2

A degree is psychology is very useful, if used correctly. There are many options within psychology itself, such as research and clinical, counseling etc... Research requires a lot of patience, and can often be very tedious. Clinical is the application of the research. Counseling, well, is self explanatory, however requires a p.H.d.
These days it is better off to get a degree in psychology and have either a second major/minor in business. Doing that can put you in human resources for a big company, comprising evaluation tests for potential job candidates. The head HR guy for J.P. Morgan had his undergrad in business and then a doctorate in psychology, and needless to say, he's doing great!

Good luck in your decision making!

Answer 3

The availability of jobs in the field are very limited with only a bachelor's degree. A Masters or PhD in a specialized area would increase your marketability. Investigate specialized areas in psychology to see if they interest you; e.g., Industrial, tests&measurements/psychometrics , educational, counseling, etc.
