What are the highest paying jobs for a physcology major?

Answer 1

You'll need at least a master's degree, preferrably a Ph.D. in the field to be competitive in the job market.

Teaching at the college level is one viable career option. The salary is quite modest when you start but will increase with your tenure.

You can get licensed and become a coundelor/psychologist. In this path you either can work for an organization (schools, hospitals...) or open an office yourself. In private practice, you make what you earn, depending on how many patients you can attract and keep.
