If you plan on practicing as a licensed Psychologist or work in academia in the U.S., be sure that your Ph.D. or Psy.D. program is accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA).  If you are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in Psychology via a distance program, check out Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, CA at http://www.fielding.edu/  Fielding is the only distance education institution to have an APA accredited Ph.D. program in Psychology.  Their program, like all of their doctoral programs are difficult and despite where you go, be prepared to spend 3 to 7 years studying fulltime!  Good luck!

My career counselor recommended the website, salary.com, for job descriptions and salaries (approx estimates).\n\nFor a BSW the median salary in the US is $40,901\n(this can vary depending on your skills and location)\n\nYou'll probably do better pursuing a PHD in Psychology, very few stop at just a Bachelors. As a matter of fact, none of my college friends or military friends (there are mental health facilities at every base) stopped at a BA.\n\nAnyway, with an advanced Psychology degree, the median salary for a psych in the US is $73,365.

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.

I got my degree in Social Work... many more job options than psychology, but Spanish is definitely a good idea!  I was turned down for some jobs because I don't speak Spanish.  Good luck!

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.

It all depends. Partially it depends on what your specialization in your masters is. You can become a licensed and practicing clinical psychologist if you choose to study clinical psychology. You can take more of a research angle and go into project management, marketing research, or even political research (to name a few). Certainly with a focus on development and a teaching certificate in many states you could become a teacher. You could work in child care or youth development programs. Psychology is really broad and there are various specializations and applications for the knowledge you gain in a master's program. I'd encourage you to think further about what interests you about psychology and what you'd like to do long term/career-wise.

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!

Get a bachelors degree in social work.

Maybe a psychologist, social worker, or a victim's advocate who would work with abused women or children.  Perhaps you could work in a drug rehab or half way house, but get a degree, so you get paid well; few people have good skills like yours.

This varies very very widely by state, and where you do it, and your degree.  I had a BS in psych graduating college in 2000 and made 20K a year at my entry level job...which is low.  Then I eventually got a social work job where I make a lot more (but still not near what I deserve).  If you have a masters and can go into private practice it depends on how good you are about what you'll make.  A community mental health center salary woudl depend on your state, lower econ places you'd make around 25K a year.

You can continue your education and get doctorate degree in Psychology or you could use it to become a market researcher, teacher, social worker, sales person, human resources officer, organizational development officer, education or non-profit program coordinator, counselor (you will need a master's in counseling for this).

It just depends on what type of counselor you are talking about. By counselor you mean, mental health worker, who does basic mental health work like paper work and teaching behavioral modification all you need is a bachelor in psychology or another behavioral science field. I've known people to do it with other degrees also however those are the preferable degrees. Most places expect you to have some type of experience also. \n\nHowever, if you mean a therapist, doing therapy, you need a masters degree in counseling or Social work. \n\nBy the way, if you are thinking about doing this career, you need to know you will not make a lot of money especially at the bachelors level. The behavioral science field is one of the lowest paid fields. Most jobs that require a psychology type degree start out around 22 to 25 thousand a year... sad for a bachelors degree. So basically, you better love what you are doing. For a masters level counselor you dont make all that much either unless you open up a private practice after you get your LPC.\n\nGood luck, it is a very demanding field with little to no rewards. Financial rewards are nonexsistant and emotional rewards are far and few in between.\n\nCounselorDan

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.
