I think I’m going to major in Psychology, but I don’t see myself as a therapist. What range of careers could I have with a Psychology degree, and what kinds of Psych classes should I take to determine which of them are right for me?

Also which of them have the most growth potential?

I am a high school senior, and the only Psych class I have ever taken is AP Psychology.
