Either Psychology or Psychiatry are your best bets. It depends on how much close contact you want with those you are working with. In Psychology you'll have more book study time and learning about the mind in general, but as a Psychiatrist you'll have time to work with individual patients on their problems. Also keep the ideas of Counsellor, Social worker, or Therapist on your mind. The best thing to do would be to talk to an expert career finder. Hey, you may end up doing that for a living yourself! There are plenty of job opportunities open for people who like to help, I'm sure you'll find what fits you best if you look into it.

Well, I completed my B.A in psychology and am making diddly squat in my job. (i live in canada). There are too many people taking this degree, so it is really hard to get into graduate school. And with just the B.A, jobs are pretty scarce, as psychology is not an edcuation that "trains" you for any particular job. I am currently doing a social work degree, just to be able to actually have a "career". If you want to be a counsellor, have to have a masters or doctorate. As for the comment someone wrote about the behaviour therapists making tons of money, i am an ABA therapist, and make $500 every 2 weeks (for 30 hours/week), that is nothing compared to most with university degrees. I could make more at walmart. . but i feel like going for such employment is a "waste" of my education. However, i needed such employment to apply to other schools, but remember, most grad schools in psychology fields take like 20 students per year at the MOST...dont mean to discourage you, but just because the degree is very interesting, doesnt mean it would be a good choice. Do it as a minor if you really want to do it.

I'm an academic advisor at a community college and the answer is yes, you can! However, it will be an assistant job of some sort but at least you can get your foot in the door. The more specific your degree, the better chance you have of getting a job directly related to psychology. For instance, we have a Human Services degree, as well as Alcohol/Drug and Mental Health Tech certificates. Students who get these degrees, opposed to our general psych associates, find more relevant jobs in the field. That's because these are Assoc. of Applied Science degrees, not Assoc. of Science like the psychology. I guess that's a round about way of saying, if you want to work in psych with just an associates, choose a career-specific degree. If you want to go onto receive your bachelors in psych, the associates in psych would be more appropriate. One last tidbit....check out this website: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ it's put together by the Dept. of Labor and you are able to search for just about any job you can think of and view salary, education requirements, job outlook etc. It's very helpful! Good luck!!

You could be one of the following:\n\n1. A psych nurse, working with the mentally ill\n\n2. A school nurse, looking after the health of school students, which often includes a good deal of counselling\n\n3. Work as a nurse in an impoverished thrid world country where you will use every skill in the book\n\nOf course you can choose one or the other. Once you finish nursing do postgraduate work in psychology and go into practice as a counsellor or psychologist.\n\nmany exciting choices

There are many jobs and careers you can attain with this degree. The fact you have a degree will allow you to chose from many different jobs, within the justice system or without it in a different capacity.\n\nFor example: You could become a probation officer, a juvenile detention center worker, work at a jail or prison. Or you could get a job as a social worker, or many other positions.\n\nGo to your local colleges job service office. There you will find a computer which will spit out all types of jobs you can get with this degree. \n\nHowever, don't be afraid to go "outside the box". You would be surprised at how many career choices will be available for somebody who hold a B.A. or B. S. degree period, no matter what the major is.\n\nGood luck in finding a career where you will attain the most satisfaction and fulfillment. Much happiness always.

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.

Depends what you want to do in life!\n\nBut a few are really good general degrees. My advise is avoid anything that ends in "studies".\n\nresearch what jobs graduates from the course go on to get, and  what further qualifications would be needed.\n\nMaths and Physics degrees are always in high demand, everywhere. Psychology is an interesting and useful degree. avoid sociology, english language, philosophy, anyhting that seems too easy or even "interesting" - the best degrees are seen as "boring"!

nothing! No, seriously, I have a BA in Psych, and it leds to no specific jobs without further study. Recruitment firms would hire you, or you could do any generalist jobs. get a post grad.

Yes, if you have a passion for the field and are good at it. Otherwise, I'd suggest other ways to earn money.\nBe sure to distinguish between a psychiatrist and psychologist. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor first, and is able (and often willing) to prescribe drugs as a part of therapy.\nA psychologist specializes more in cognitive or behavioral treatments, and typically is not able to prescribe drugs.\nMonetarily, psychiatrists are likely to earn significantly more in their careers. As far as happiness, I think you will find that both psychiatrists and psychologists enjoy the challenge of making a difference in people's lives.

Information Technology is a great field that is constantly looking for professionals.  With a career in technology, you can even branch off into consulting with companies such as oracle and sage.  A degree in psychology is not as marketable.  My friend graduated with a degree in psychology since May and she is still unemployed.  The best advice I could give you is to pick a career that you will enjoy working in for a while (job satisfaction sometimes outweights the economic gain).\nFor salary information visit...www.salary.com

Neuropsych is good, but it almost sounds like you are interested in neuroscience (hint when you look at this: many universities have seperate neuroscience and psychology departments)
