IF you want to use the degree in the field, you will have to go back to school and earn the master's or phd. I have a BS in psych and I am in the hotel industry.
So, I think you can consider it an entry level into wide variety of jobs that deal with people. Like Hotel, Retail, Food Service. AKA anything that has customer service or people skills in the job description. If you want to stay in the therapy realm, you will def need to continue your education.

How about a school psychologist? Lord knows we need them in high school and middle school. Pay might not be great but the work should be rewarding. You can always go part time and work on your undergrad degree. Also local mental health clinics need therapist. If you want to go after a better paying job to start you need to get into a marriage counseling practice, either on your own or with a group of therapist. I think 40k a year to start is fair, depending on where you live and the cost of living.
Many people I know have used such degrees also to get into the Human Resource field. Which would also require decent computer skills.

Indigo Cobra and Ginza have the truest answers. I'm a retired mental health practitioner with 20+ years experience, and I can tell you that people with psychology degrees need at least a Master's Degree and, in Texas, must still have a Ph.D. or M.D.'s supervision in order to counsel or otherwise be a psychologist. Maybe kam_1261 has a good answer as far as what you can do with your degree, but, if I were you, I'd "suck it in" and go for your M.A. in Psychology or your Ph.D. I know you want money now, and may need it as we all do, but if you're interested in being a psychologist, well, you've got more academia to deal with first. God Bless you.

God I hate saying this, I have a BA in psychology and there weren't many options for me out there. Check out some research centers, you may be able to get into that. Otherwise I found that I needed a masters to do pretty much anything worthwhile in psych. Although I did love doing case management for a while (did it with just my BA). I didn't make squat. I think I made 9.50/hour plus mileage reimbursement for traveling for clients. It was a great job though.

Well, it's hard to do things with a Bachelor in Psychology. I mean if you want to do something in the field you really need at least a master's. Perhaphs a counsler at a school but i could be wrong about that.

not much if you want to practice... almost any professional shrink has at least a masters degree.
