what career provides stability and money?

Question

whats up! Im currently 24 and I have a B.A in psychology and I have been very unsuccesful in trying to find a job in that field. I dont necessarily want to pursue my masters right away. What skill can I learn or career move can I do to have financial stability. Im currently pregnant and unfourtunately Im gonna be a single mom and i really want to provide for my baby. What should or can I do to improve my income?

Answer 1

What really prompted you to get a degree in Psych? If you wanted to be a therapist, don't let being pregnant stop you. We have a baby, and though I am not single we took a major financial cut when I left a corporate position to go back to school. I did though take a job at a university to it was steady income and they pay for 2 classes a semester. Check out jobs at your local university.
What else can you do? I am not into the idea of what the person mentioned to automatically get in Sales. Sales is hard for a person with a baby. It's not stable and if you aren't good at it, it makes that difference in your paycheck.
My friend that graduated with a BA in psych got a job as a teacher and then got an MS in school counseling. She makes descent stable money and great hours for her family.
If you do want to do sales think about maybe being a Pharmaceutical Rep. They make great money, but be warned that once accepted into the position you have to study your butt off.... they don't send you into the field without knowing about the medical field or the drug you are representing.
Good Luck!

Answer 2

It is hard to do much in the field of psychology with "only" a bachelor's degree. However the degree shows that should be able to work with people well and that you can learn. If you have an outgoing personality, try applying for sales jobs. If you are good at it, you will always be in demand even if your income is uneven.
