what are the job opportunities available for a BS psychology undergraduate?
120119
Many companies hire people with undergraduate degrees in fields such as psychology, archeology and palentology, but most of the time, the jobs have little or nothing to do with the field of study.\n\nAn undergraduate degree is what opens the doors of most companies.  \n\nIf you want to pursue psychology, you will need at least a Master's degree and more likely a doctoral degree.

do you mean bs and ba?\n\nThe Bachelor of Science usually requires supportive courses (12 credits) in math, business, ethics, or science.  A Bachelor of Arts requires 12 hours of foreign language.\n\nYou really don't see any variation among psychology degrees until you hit graduate school and then again if you decide to specialize.  There are many different types of psychology.  Of course there's Clinical and Counseling, there's physiological psychology where you study behaviors bases on anatomy of the nervous system, Different schools of thought, Behavior Therapy, Forensic Psychology, Health Psychology, etc. etc.

I agree that social sciences are a good way to go...psychology is a good base for many of the things you mentioned...you may want to consider taking some education classes and some law classes as well.\nAnd don't forget, you are able to do a major and a minor, or a double major.  This way, you can combine some of the things you are interested in, and have a more comprehensive educational experience.

There are many fields of psychology. Here are some of the many types of psychologists:\n\n>Biological psycologists explore the links between brain and   mind.\n\n>Developmental psychologists study changing abilities from womb to tomb.\n\n>Cognitive psychologists experiment perception, thought, and problem-solving.\n\n>Personality psychologists investigate inner traits.\n\n>Social psychologists  explore how people affect one another.\n\n>Industrial/organizational psychologists study and advise on behavior in the workplace.\n\n>Clinical psychologists study, assess, and treat troubled people.\n\nFor you, criminal psychology could be an option to work at a police station. To work with children, you might conside developmental psychology or clinical psycholgy.

I assume that you decided the university wasn't for you -- not just that psychology wasn't. (If it was just psychology, you'd have simply changed majors.) \n\nWere the "menial jobs" based on trained, professional trades? If not, you might try a skill-based job for a while -- learn carpentry, or automotive repair, or plumbing, or roofing. If you apply yourself to those sorts of trades with the same intensity and thoughtfulness that most people recommend applying to college, you can sometimes do pretty well. \n\nHere's my recommendation: Surf on over the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and check out the pay levels for various types of work in your area. Seek your inspiration there. You're looking for a job that pays decently at the high ends, so you have something to work toward, but you're also looking for one in which demand outstrips local supply. If there's a local need for high-level machinists, and the job pays decently in your area, learn to do that. \n\nOne advantage to these sorts of jobs is that when you're home, you usually can enjoy it -- most college-based jobs involve tons of take-home work, and even when you're on vacation, you're taking calls, or thinking about work. If you're a plumber or something, and you manage your money well, you can usually enjoy your days off.

I have a BS in Psych, and pretty much you have 2 options. Either become a lab assistant for someone with a higher degree, or go all the way to your doctoral degree in it.\n\n  A bach in psych is a wonderful thing to have - like an instruction book to the human mind - but it won't get you very far on merit.  If you find a generic job, a degree in psych will show that you are smart, and can stick with a program.\n\n    There are more physical /anatomy oriented classes that you will need to become an OT.

If your question is whether to do a BA or BSc then I would suggest a BSc. To be honest this is more to do with the perception of those working in and with the psychology field. Psychology has no doubt become a science, particularly with neuro psychology and cognitive psychology becoming mainstream in reserach and treatment. It will vary from country to country, however in the UK a BSc. is generally regarded as having more academic status. Although, as I say above, this is often because it "sounds" better rather than for any substative reasons. However, if you want to study neuro sciences then you will probably end up with a BSc anyway. If you are more into applying psychology in other fields such as adverstising or psychometrics then you may find a BA is more the route to go. Good luck!

I have a doctorate degree in clinical psychology. My entire undergraduate degree was through a distance learning program. I found that what I learned online far surpassed my friends who were graduating with their master's degree in traditional on campus programs. I feel one can learn as much, if not more depending on their motivation, taking online courses. However, I would highly discourage graduate level courses in psychology because there are too many things at stake (e.g., a therapist's competence in dealing with potential life decisions of other humans). However, undergraduate courses are not designed to teach one to do actual therapy, but to lay a foundation for that work to be laid on.

Go to college. Major in Behavioral Sciences in community college and social work at university. You might want to consider a master after that to get more choice in what you do later on.

I don't know what part of Missouri you live in, but if you're in the western part, William Jewell College might be a good one to look at, and if you're in the eastern half, try Lindenwood University.\n\nMissouri State University (you probably know it by it's former name...SMS) also has a decent Psychology program.\n\nThe University of Missouri at Columbia, along with it's University Health System, has a GREAT psychology program, but I'm pretty sure you're already aware of that.\n\nGood luck!
