What can I get my Master's in if I have one BA in psychology and another BA in English?

Question

I double majored at UMass. I want to get my Master's in a field that pays a lot of money because the cost of living in Massachusetts is very high.

Answer 1

You can't base your decision on what pays the most. Get some career counseling (or read some good books) and identify what you will be happiest (or at least most fulfilled) doing. Yes, an MBA is one route but you need several years of work experience first, and what is an MBA is not your thing?

Get "What Color is Your Parachute", a workbook-type book that will help you identify trends toward a decision about a career choice. Also, get the college catalog and go through EVERY graduate program--look at the classes, what pre-reqs are required, etc and see what interests you. The answer needs to come from you, but you need outside resources to help.

Answer 2

Education

Answer 3

I guessing you spent your college career smoking pot and majoring in easy items that supposedly matter to you but don't matter to anybody else (except your professors, who did the same thing when they were in college).
Now, you've graduated and realized both of your degrees are worthless, except if you want a job a Starbucks serving coffee.
So, you are now faced with the conundrum of getting a crappy job at Starbucks, working for a manager who didn't go to college, or going back to school and hiding from the real world for the next few years.

Get your MBA. It worked for me. Now, I'm the manager at Starbucks.

Answer 4

Go for your MBA and have a specific focus (IT, HR, etc.)during the program. If you do not know for sure which field you would like to stay in, you could do more than one at some schools.

Answer 5

You could work towards a doctorate degree and become a college professor.

Answer 6

Counseling - with your own practice?
