Nursing or Psychology and why. What is more in demand in your area and how much money can I make if I decided to do one or the other. Also what are the different types of jobs I can get with those degrees?

Nursing. They are currently importing them from several other countries because of shortages in US. You may also want to consider being a PA or physicians assistant, less schooling than a doctor and a high paying salary. -Super

Not much at all. I have a Bachelor's degree in psychology, and it's pretty useless. I can't think of any jobs that require an associate degre in Psychology; you'd most likely get stuck in positions that only required a high school diploma/GED. Sad, but true. If you want a more profitable degree at the Associate level, I'd suggest nursing. Many RNs also do psych counseling. \n\nThe requirements for "licensed therapist" vary by state, but usually, you need a master's degree. A master's in psychology or social work, or even mental health counseling, would do the trick, depending on where you are.

Need more information on where you are located to suggest a program.\n\nBut I agree with your decision ot major in psychology. No major is "worth it" unless you have a passion about and affinity for the material.  Its not worth your time and tuition dollars to specialize in a degree that you don't enjoy - you'll just end up in a job/career you don't enjoy.\n\nSo if you like psychology the best, absolutely major in it!\n\nWhile many psychology majors go on to graduate school, this isn't essential in order for you to get a job.  One skill unique to your major is learning the issues involved with research on human subjects.  This makes you qualified for positions in marketing/advertising, clinical research positions with hospitals or pharmaceutical companies, case management, human resources, etc.\n\nLife should be about more than just a paycheck - don't sell your future happiness for few thousand dollars more.\n\nGood luck with your decision.

A bachelors in psychology is better than no degree (by a lot), but to work in that field you really need a masters or doctorate. If you are not set on psychology as your career field, then do not worry about it so much. I have my BS in sociology and work as a software trainer! You just need a college degree, don't worry too much about how applicable it is!

Not so sure about that. The nurses I know are fairly burned out after a few years. If you intend to go into health care administration I think you would eventually like to get an MBA. R.N. is a certification rather than a degree. In some states people with Associates degrees are able to apply to become a registered nurse. I believe you take the NCLEX. Anyhow, RN's are in demand for a reason, there's a high turn over...and it's hard work. Nobody wants to deal with a "code Brown" at 3am. If you TRULY want to be a nurse, go ahead and go for the RN. But know what you are getting into. Some people love the field. If you want to be on the business side, apply to B-school, and get an MBA. Only a fool goes into medicine, doctor or nurse for the money.

whatever u know and love... do that... you should do what you think you would do best. if you like art, i would recommend art therapy. you could also simply major in psychology.\n it's all about what makes u you. \ni would suggest that you pick something that suits your needs. \nif u like something, go with that. don't pick the thing that someone tells you to just b/c they think that is what you should do and what you would make money with. do what makes you happy = ]

Understand one thing about a degree, employeers are not really concerned about the field of study, unless it is education, nursing, or social services field.  To most employeers the degree simple identifies that you are able and willing to start and finish something, which says a lot in todays society, so go get a job doing something that you enjoy.  Go into law enforcment, become a teacher with a lateral entry possition.  Have fun and make money

There is a massive nurse shortage in the UK.  If you became a nurse it would afford you much oppurtunity.  Many people leave the country if they can pay for it because there isn't enough nurses.  Nurses work all sorts of shift so you there would be a good chance that you could find one that fits you perfectly.  Also a nurse gets the chance to study different forms of medicine from working with old or very young to even learning the world of surgery and become a medical techinical field.  A paramedic does have its perks but I would sugguest becoming a nurse.  The choice is and always will be in your hands.  Good luck.

Try IT or science, or healthcare. There is a lack of people in these fields, and they are some of the fastest growing most-highly-paying fields. \n\nYou can also talk to a career conselour at the university to see what different majors will lead to different jobs and choose from there.

In the US, the only jobs in psychology require either a Master's degree or Doctorate.\n\nA master's degree will let you be a Social Worker, which is very hard work for low pay.\n\nA Ph.D. will let you be a Psychologist.  Big money, if you're good.  \n\nA bachelor's degree in Psych is like underwater basket-weaving.  Don't even bother if you're not pursuing an advanced degree.

go for the MBA!!!! \nyou can do more with your flower shop ( or just have it GROW!) and learn the ins and outs of higher level business.\nLike the first answer, nursing is demanding and if you dont really have the aptitude for it ( not trying to pass judgment,but if you were good in the sciences i dont see why you would have graduated in commerce!)It  not about money ( as I learned the hard way) you really have to be in it for people and good at it!

My dear friend. dealing with money makes more money.  you can never compare accounting jobs with nursing services.  nurses are humanitarians in nature, getting a good nursing job will have to be a big huspital or setting up your own esterblishment, and that does not come easy.  but when you are an acountant, you can work anywhere including a huspital.\n\nMoreover, you can work elsewhere while you operate your own little business.  accounting experience help you to do more business than any other field.\n\nSO GO FOR ACCOUNTING AND MAKE PLENTY OF MONEY.

The best degree is nursing.  There is a shortage of nurses throughout the world.  You can work anywhere as a nurse, and get paid a good salary.

Wrong focus.  It's not like it's med school.  Just get into a convenient and decent nursing program.  It's what you do after getting your nursing degree and passing the boards that makes you a great nurse, or not.
