There is one -- and only one -- reason to get a PhD, and that is to do research. Teaching is usually secondary.

Open your own practice.
Be a Psychologist
With Educational Psychology you can be a school Psychologist. Although you do NOT need a PhD is Educational Psychology to teach college/university. If you have a PhD in any area of Psychology you can teach college.
To be a "social worker" you need a degree in social work

My school district contracts with a couple of PH.d.s in Educational Psychology. They do our "testing" for special education; learning disabilities and behavioral issues. One of the guys also does some counseling; the other does testing and reports/meeting with teachers and parents.
Years ago we had our own Psychologist; but this became too expensive for small school districts. Some larger districts still hire them full time.

Perhaps work as a college professor (may need student teaching experience, not sure), career counselor, therapist who evaluates and treats children with academic problems and learning disabilities. Perhaps someone with a doctorate in educational psychology can advocate for parents with children that have special needs.
Here is a website for US colleges: www.utexas.edu/world/univ
For more general career info: www.bls.gov/oco and search 'psychologist', 'social worker' (being in a similar field to psychology but needing at least a master's degree) or such.

You can do research, open your own clinic, become the head psychologist of a school district, teach (at the college level) etc...

You can go to cocktail parties and art openings and scare people half to death with witty and over-intelligent remarks. You can go on to misinterpret their responses to you as a kind of social acceptance. You can pass off erudite arrogance as a kind of business card and the friends you gather in such a manner will have about as much social value as you do.
