There is basically no degree out of college that will make you money. Especially Psychology. No joke. There is not much you can do with a Psychology degree other than go on to get your PhD. That takes a lot longer. So if you are planning on being a psychologist, good luck to you.
I would say you can probably study computers and get an undergrad degree.

I majored in psychology and use it today.. though I did not persue a degree as I had planned, I do miss not having completed the education.. I regret not getting deeper into the science because as you well know, it is extremely interesting. As for you I will say yes you can earn a great deal of money if you practice the science correctly. Find the right field for youself. Mass, industrial, abnormal, child, etc.. Had I continued on I would have specialized in Mass. psych. In many was I practice it now. I have been in marketing and advertising for nearly forty years and it provides me with a very nice income plus great satisfaction from my efforts to apply the psych. skills to the industry. I have known others with degrees in Psyc. that do fairly well but probably not as well as they could have if they understood themselves as much as they think they understand others. It is a wonderful field of study.. and I think you will do well, but as I said, be careful to know yourself first. Always know exactly who you are and let your own natural self stay up front. I think your success and sanity depend on it. I also have known some real quirky people who have the degrees and they are just awful people.. Look for the specialty that is really enjoyable to you..one that you love, one that you dedicate yourself too.. Find that one and I think you will do well and be well.. Good Luck

Hello.
Well there are many different employment fields you can reach out to. In the field of Psychology. The average first year earning is about 90,000 dollars. It's a great field but is very time consuming. Hope you do well in the future with the career.

I'm sure yu can make some money in the field, but only after many years of schooling, and then setting up a private practice.
