I have busted my butt to pay for all of my bills and pay for my school. So, now that I am about to graduate I realized that I have spent so much time worrying about individual classes, and paying for school itself, i have no idea what I am going to do with this degree? Does anyone have any suggestions? be nice!

I graduated in May 2006 with my BS in psychology. When I got hone I started to look for jobs. The only jobs that I could get was wal-mart or sears. There are not a lot of jobs u can get with a bachelor in psychology. The only one is like a mental health worker, but if you don't have experience you won't get that one. In order to work in the psychology field u need at least a master's. I ended up doing back to school at a community college to get certified as a Drug & Alcohol Counselor. This is a 2 year program with internship that will lead to a career. After that I will go get my masters in social work. If you would like to get a good paying job u will have to go back to school. Trust me I been through all this. It will be very hard for you to find a job with this degree especially if you have no experience. TRUST ME YOU CAN'T BE A SOCIAL WORKER WITH A BACHELOR'S IN PSYCHOLOGY. PEOPLE WHO TELL U THIS DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. YOU NEED A MASTERS IN SOCIAL WORK TO BE A SOCIAL WORKER!!!! YOU CAN'T BE A COUNSELOR WITH OUT A COUNSELING DEGREE OR CERTIFICATION (which a BA in psychology is not) and u can not teach without passing the Praxis test and then u can only teach high school psychology!!! I looked into all of these jobs after I got out of school!!!! You can be a subsitute teacher with a Bachelors in anything but that doesn't pay as much as a real teacher.

There particularly is little distinction in the profession sector between a BA and a BS. the main significant distinction is whether or not you have an interest in greater scientific coursework, which frequently fulfills a BS requirement, so do not complication approximately that plenty. I agree which you will desire to persist with a profession direction that maximum almost suits your pastimes. understand that on the instant time and age, maximum folk substitute jobs distinctive circumstances, and it is likewise uncomplicated to alter careers quicker or later. additionally, profession crystalization would not of course happen until around 25 so don't be worrying. What you're dealing with is commonly used. that is basically a level of progression. the best ingredient to do is to discover your ideas. Interview and job shadow people in all of those areas and discover out what different ideas they might understand of in those fields. My very own opinion is that a BA in Psychology and Anthropology will carry approximately few artwork ideas. those are frequently fields that yield little pay with a bachelors point degree. A BS in Biology with a coaching credential is an selection. reckoning on the area which you reside in, coaching might nicely be a particularly good earnings, yet basically the Bio may be certifiable in maximum places. I used my psychology and sociology twin substantial to land a case worker function in a social artwork putting for awhile, however the uncomplicated bachelors ranges skills and information weren't sufficient for me to do the known of artwork that i needed to do. I carried out a counseling degree (malicious program your counselor, that's what they're paid for), a submit-grasp's college specialization, and am looking right into a Ph. D application for Public coverage and can use those prepared on working a community center or working in another country in the direction of the Peace Corps. the assumption right it particularly is that your ideas are infinite. do not cut back your self now. I additionally enjoyed women folk's learn, and American way of lifestyles on the college point. Use your electives in college that may be useful you're making those judgements which you're worrying approximately now. A liberal arts degree gets you into many get admission to point positions (i.e. advertising and marketing, sales, government positions, regulation enforcement, social provider companies.) on occasion that have is plenty greater telling than e book artwork and concept. solid success alongside with your seek.
