Hi Hannah!


As someone who graduated with an undergrad in Psychology and Spanish, here's what I can tell you.


If you want to remain in the traditional clinical field of Psychology your options are slightly limited as things like being a clinical psychologist, Social Worker or Doctor require further education - think PhD, Masters, or Licensed Social Worker. However, there are jobs out there at the care coordinator level that may be a good fit. For example, there are things like day rehabilitation programs that always require some type of care coordinator or care assistant where you can apply your Psychology degree. I would also chat with the school where you are currently doing your Masters. A lot of the time they have partnerships with organizations and you can work there while pursuing a masters.


If you want to stray out of the traditional field of psychology, there are jobs in Corporate (if that interests you) that you could potentially pursue. Many jobs in Human Resources (for example) such as recruiting, learning, HR operations etc. can be a good fit if you have a psych degree. So, it depends on whether you want to remain in traditional psychology or venture into the Corporate world. ;-)
