I'm gonna be leaving college soon, and I decided to focus in psychology for my degree. I have great grades, but one thing my university hasn't been clear on is specific job prospects. What options will I have, and what will make the most money?

You got a psychology degree with absolutely no idea what you're going to do with it? If it's a only Bachelors, you might as well just have thrown away the piece of paper.

I was and still am thinking about Grad School, preferably for my doctorate. I'm more asking about what specific job should I aim for since I'm still an undergrad.
>>
>>18713858
Anything and everything, a Bachelors in psychology is no better than an English degree.

>>18713869
So either specializing and getting a post-grad, or just applying to a company is the best option?
>>
Psychfag here, most jobs actually tend to be in stuff like marketing, advertising, any businesses looking to do social research in order to nab customers and maximise their profits (the Burger King ads were a major example of this).

Anything that can help a business get a better insight to their consumer base and bank off of them.

Really? I knew jobs like that existed, but are they common? How well do jobs like that pay, and how difficult is the hiring curve if you know?
>>
>>18713920
I don't know what the hiring curve is. But they tend to pay a little more than what the average salary is at said business.

There's actually quite a bit of value for people who can research and tell you how people will act and think. Just not in the fields themselves.
>>
>>18713929
Hm, okay. Stupid question probably, but would I be able to get a job like that with a Bachelor, or would I need post-grad?
>>
>>18713995
I've seen people get hired right after their bachelors and ended up making more than those who waited until their masters or PhD before getting a job.
