Psychology like Communications or Business is a very broad field and you can actually do a lot with a BA in Psychology. I am looking at marketing jobs right now and if you want in field jobs look at being a "behaviorist" it's a real job and they get paid REALLY well.

Behaviorists impliment plans of action to improve life quality for people who suffer from mental illness, phobias, and any behavior issues. They get like $40 an hour and to do what they do it takes a while and therapists need those people to go out and impliment these plans of action outside the office so don't be fooled, you can do whatever you want to with your bachelor's degree in psychology....you just can't be a counselor or doctor for that you at least need a masters.
Haha, cool man good to know there's another psych major here.

It's funny, a couple months ago I opened up a new checking account and was talking to the young guy who worked at the bank that was opening it for me. He asked what my major was and I told him psychology and he said "that's what mine was to."

I thought, "oh crap."

I know a lot of people go into different fields with a psych degree, especially business and marketing. I have a horrible advisor that tells me nothing beneficial and only discouraged my choice of psychology as a major. I was close to changing my major a few times, but realized since I already had so many psych. credits I'd just get a BA in it and see what happens.

$40 an hour to start as a behaviorist aint to shabby at all. At least, it beats the hell out of the $7.00 an hour I was making my last job.

Where did you get your degree from Lyle? In the process of getting one from University of Pittsburgh. From what I understand they have one of the better psych programs availible.

Out of curiosity, what did you graduate with? I got a 3.6 my freshman year, but due to substance abuse and disillusionment in the system/classes it's sitting at around a 2.9 right now, lol. Which reminds me, I have my last final of the semester tomorrow which I should be studying for

Congratulations man! I have a LONNNNNG two more semester sitting in front of me.
