Honestly, is a 2.2 bsc degree in psychology worth much credibility?

If you earn your bachelor that's great and congrats.  College is hard... I know!\n\nBut seriously the truth is that you can't put your GPA on your resume if you want to find a career.  Its best that you don't list it but only explain where and what you've graduated with.  That is it do not go into too much details.  Today's working field is looking for people who is sharp and capable in handling tasks.  Most interviews don't ask for GPA, because, sometimes the book smarts aren't so smart.  It takes people of both kind of street smarts and book smarts to make it through the business.  \n\nBut just to let you know... If you are just getting a 2.2 because its easy on you.  Don't... You are going to regret it and you are going say to yourself that you should have done better.  Its going to haunt you, because,  your going to learn that you have a drive that wasn't full filled.\n\nJust remember!  College is not for everyone but if you stick it out with a diploma.  People understand the pain and struggle you went through to get it.  Also, it proves you have the will or drive of not giving up.  Because, some people went to college and those who say they have higher GPA probably didn't stick to their major from the beginning.  I feel it shows lack of character and the will to drive.  There are people out their changing majors not to discover themselves but to make it easier on their grades.\n\nI majored in Management Information Systems, it was hard but I knew that my GPA isn't going to get any higher then 3.1.  Instead its even 3.0 or some dumb number rounded up from 2.9652892.\n\nSo that's why the workforce today sometimes don't ask your GPA.  They want to discover do you have the drive in you.

I'm working on my associates and then my bachelors because I at least want that two-year degree in writing.  It really doesn't matter how you do it.  It just depends on what you want.

The question is can you live comfortably earning half of what you're currently making? If so then the choice is easy. If not then your love for psychology would determine whether or not it's worth it.

You may buy a Bachelor Degree, sure. In most jobs nobody will find out it is fake. Anyway, it depends on the industry and kind of job you want. A BSc is almost impossible to fake, people will know you are lying when they see you at work, or they will just fire you for being a goofy professional. The administration, marketing and commerce tasks are not so hard. Actually they are freaking easy at low level. \n\nYou are risking to go jail because of fraud. Anyway, I know a lot of so called engineers (yes, fake engineers) who are still working and earning big money.\n\nBuy your degree and get in sales, that wont' harm anyone.

Well, I will be finishing up my two year degree at Strayer University here in the next month or so, and it is only in General Studies.\n\nI wouldn't recommend going to school for a bachelors degree online. I say this because In my experience you need the social atomosphere of people in the same field you are in, you also need a learning environment, and not your home office.\n\nAnother thing about online school is that I seem to blow off my work alot and end up having to do it at the last minute on the weekend. I work full time, and value my weekends, so I dont want to be stuck doing school work on the weekends, but I procrastinate and do it anyway.\n\nI would say on my journey for this little degree that I have though, my physical classes I've taken have been no different than my online classes. Most of them have been core classes and electives though, so it's really not a big deal. I would definately want to get my bachelors and above at a real school though.\n\nGood luck.

It can't hurt...but it's all in what you study and how you apply it.  I once met a man with a Ph.D. in cultural anthropology driving a cab.  And I have met very successful corporate CEO's who never finished a bachelor's degree... although these are rare cases.\n\nFor the average person on the street... if you want a white collar professional job with opportunity for advancement, yes, you really do need to have at least a bachelor's degree in today's job market.  Educate yourself to be a productive and competitive worker, and keep refreshing your education every few years to stay current.  The fact that our labor force in the US is badly under-educated is a big part of the reason why our jobs are going to Bagalore. \n\nBeyond that, graduate degrees are worthwhile, but only if you are properly motivated and focused on realistic career goals, so I think most people are better off waiting and working for a few years before going back to grad school so they don't waste their degrees.

Right now I am doing a master's in psychology after a Bachelors psychology first, Sociology second. \nPart of my strategy is to take a low paid job right after graduation. It will give me a work history and provide the basis for better later on.\nThe  £11,124 may not be the best, but it is a good start. Like Ollie said, depends on where you live. In spite of taxes taking a huge bite, as noted by Bob, it is still a starting place. You may not be there too long.\nWhen a better situation comes along you will be more likely to be hired than only with your Masters.\nMe so far:\nTutoring Social and Physical Sciences\nEnglish and ESL\nPrivate coaching and mentoring, academic and lifestyle choices.\nThis goes on vita, and how I have my career roughly charted out.\nSo good luck,\nCharles James

The school where you get your undergrad degree isn't nearly as important as where you get your graduate degree.  A bachelor's degree in psychology really doesn't help get you great jobs, so going to the "best" program isn't particularly important at that point.  Beside, rankings of psych programs almost always refer to the strength of the graduate studies, not undergrad.   Also, it is rare for graduate programs to take undergrads from the same school, so you probably want to go somewhere else if you want to get into Stanford, UofM, or Ohio State for grad school.\n\nEven though it's a long time before this will matter to you, I should mention that the "best" program will vary depending on what area of psychology you decide to pursue.  The three schools you mentioned are generally strong in all areas, but there may be another school that is better in developmental psych, clinical, personality, etc.  As you work toward your bachelor's, you'll get an opportunity to talk to faculty in different areas to get a sense of what your best options might be.

No. Some of the best writers/scientists/psychologists I have read, all began thier education with an economics qualification. Even though thier skills later developed into nothing to do with this subject, they all seem to have this background. So unless its making you seriously depressed or something, stick with it.

Go for it. However you will start as a junior. After 2 years of experience your market value will be much higher.

The only degree available in 2 years is an associates degree.  Worth having and you can usually apply your credits toward a bachelors degree at some later date.  Other than an A.A. there are several certification programs such as an E.M.T. usually these take about 1 year to complete.  Medical certificates are a good choice as well.  But you should know that workers who possess a bachelors degree or advanced Masters stand to make several hundred thousand more in their lifetime than those having less education.  It's a financial decision from start to finish and you have to really want it to succeed in business.  Good luck.

My opinion (as a BSME) is that any college education is helpful; an AS degree is very helpful; a BS is better yet; and anybody whoe stays in school beyond the BS degree is not playing with a full deck.

The Psychology Program at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, is the only one I know of.  I wouldn't recommend it, unless most of the old-fogey faculty from the 80s has died off or retired.  It is a public university, but you might want to check it out anyway.  For all I know, there might be a whole new batch of really enlightened faculty by now.

depends on what uni you are aming for... a 3.2 is ok but a 3.5 for top universities :D

I love psychology, but you're right about the amount of reading at first. It gets easier later on, though, because you know most of the stuff from the other courses you've already taken. And you get to do research as an undergrad if you're lucky! I also liked microbiology, anatomy, English composition, calculus, and statistics.
