Jobs with a bachelor degree in psychology?

To pursue psychology as your job, I find that you need to get a master's degree or above to pursue those jobs. Are there any jobs that accept you if you just have a bachelor degree in psychology.

Hello! If I could you give the advice that every academic advisor gave me. Psychology is one of those degrees that a bachelors really isn’t much. It won’t pay very well. Psychology you need a graduate degree. Atleast a Masters or PsyD/PhD to make decent money and be able to do clinical therapy etc. Remember you’re working toward a license and you don’t get a license with a bachelors degree if you plan on doing clinical psychology. Look up jobs in your area with the bachelors, masters, and PhD. That will show you what you need to get and what you want to make .

Noah’s Answer

There really isn't much tbh. Psych majors are one of the most popular choices for bachelor's degrees and they are often intended to prepare people for further academic studies. You can technically enter a psychology masters of doctoral program even without having your bachelor's be in psych. The one area you might want to explore is HR. Many HR people lack some of the deep psychology knowledge that you could potentially gain from a bachelor's in psych. So you could possibly stand out there.

Other than that, I suggest you consider a master's or higher or a different major that still incorporates your interests.

Also, if it's time/money that puts you off from doing a masters/phd, I suggest you take a look at Competency-Based Education. AKA things like CLEP and Sophia Learning. They are a form of transferable college credit that you can complete online for a fraction of the time and money. You could use them to complete your general education requirements and cut off 1-2 years of your bachelor's degree. Then you could maybe even get your masters in a total of 4-5 years rather than the traditional 6-8.

Hope this helps!
