1. School psychologist.
School psychologists usually work during school hours and adhere to a schedule that generally corresponds to the academic calendar. This role includes evaluating students, providing advice, and collaborating with teachers and parents.
2. Production and organizational psychologist.
Many data entry and exit psychologists work in corporate structures, where the work schedule may be more regular, usually coinciding with standard working hours. This role is aimed at improving employee productivity and well-being.
3. Research psychologist.
If you prefer a more laboratory setting, research psychologists often have a regular work schedule, especially if they work at a research institution.
4. A consultant psychologist at the clinic.
Many counseling psychologists working in community psychiatric or outpatient clinics may have regular hours, often from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. However, this may depend on the specific clinic and its client base.
5. Academic or teaching positions.
Teaching psychology at a college or university involves a structured schedule that corresponds to an academic calendar with regular hours. Teachers often have the freedom to manage their time outside of teaching.

My job is in the training department of my company, helping employees learn the skills they need for their job. I majored in psychology, but didn't really think about learning and development, or other HR fields, until I was out of college. I think these careers put a psychology degree to really good use - its all about know how people work! For example, in my field cognitive psychology is a great background to have. Depending on the company you are at, you could have a pretty consistent "9 to 5" weekday schedule. I'd recommend possibly looking into Industrial or Organization Psychology, or HR professions if you're interested in finding out more!
