I agree that going to graduate school is your best option for a lucrative career. I couldn't find anything decent that I wanted with a BA in Psych so I went on to an MPH in Epidemiology and now I'm in higher level research.
That said, some of your options outside of that are: Administrative in Mental Health or Health Care, Research Assistant, Lower level Social Work, Sales, Teacher's Assistant, Caretaker, and Marketing. With experience in secondary education, try a school setting for employment first. Make certain to have a fantastic resume, a great interview uniform, and top notch interviewing skills.
No matter what you do, get up to speed on office equipment, that is necessary everywhere.

I have a B.S in psychology and im working in pharmacuticals. Its a good base degree but you really have to get a masters and better a Ph.d. to really do that much. The Bachelor's level oprtunites in the field of psychology are pretty limited.

You can probably get a job doing behavioral programming for children with disabilities, such as autism. I know a couple of people with bachelor's in psych who do applied behavioral analysis at autism centers.
Generally an undergraduate psych degree needs to be followed up with a masters to get most professional jobs.

You can work for Psychologists doing clerical work and research. Even the University in which you got your BA may have Profs. that will hire you for research. However, if you want to do Clinical stuff, you need, at least, a Masters.

I hate to say it, but go back to school and get a Master's in psychology or in something else. Most places that use psychologists will not touch you without a master's in psychology.

unfortunately, you will not be able to get a job in counseling or anything without minimum masters degree. teaching usually means doctorate.. get your master's.
