Honestly, is a 2.2 bsc degree in psychology worth much credibility?

Answer 1

If you earn your bachelor that's great and congrats. College is hard... I know!

But seriously the truth is that you can't put your GPA on your resume if you want to find a career. Its best that you don't list it but only explain where and what you've graduated with. That is it do not go into too much details. Today's working field is looking for people who is sharp and capable in handling tasks. Most interviews don't ask for GPA, because, sometimes the book smarts aren't so smart. It takes people of both kind of street smarts and book smarts to make it through the business.

But just to let you know... If you are just getting a 2.2 because its easy on you. Don't... You are going to regret it and you are going say to yourself that you should have done better. Its going to haunt you, because, your going to learn that you have a drive that wasn't full filled.

Just remember! College is not for everyone but if you stick it out with a diploma. People understand the pain and struggle you went through to get it. Also, it proves you have the will or drive of not giving up. Because, some people went to college and those who say they have higher GPA probably didn't stick to their major from the beginning. I feel it shows lack of character and the will to drive. There are people out their changing majors not to discover themselves but to make it easier on their grades.

I majored in Management Information Systems, it was hard but I knew that my GPA isn't going to get any higher then 3.1. Instead its even 3.0 or some dumb number rounded up from 2.9652892.

So that's why the workforce today sometimes don't ask your GPA. They want to discover do you have the drive in you.

Answer 2

Honestly? OK. In a field like psychology, a bachelor's degree often isn't enough for a good job - you'd usually need at least a masters for any good job. And a 2.2 gpa isn't going to help.

Good luck.

Check around with mental health specialty managed care organizations that contract out with large HMO's. These companies handle the counseling and psychiatric care portions of people's health insurance. Many of them hire bachelor's level graduates for chart review, quality assurance tasks, telephone intake counseling, and outreach.
