I am about to graduate with a bachelors degree in Psychology...?

I know this sounds funny that I am just now thinking about this, but what can I do with my degree?? I am having a hard time figuring out where I can directly apply my skills.

    I am too! What you can do with your degree is go to graduate school because you can't do much with just a bachelors in this field.

    PS-There is A LOT of money to be made in this field, but it is not in counseling. (For testimony, see below) Try Industrial-Organizational psych. if you're looking for the big bucks. You can get either a M.A. or Ph.D.

    Hate to break it to you, but you have gained zero skills with a psychology undergrad degree as seen from an employers point of view. Psychology at the undergrad level does not offer anything marketable to an organization, unfortunately. That's not the end-all of things. Look at what *real* skills you can offer: Are you good with computers? Are you good at sales? Are you good at communicating with people? That's just a small glimmer of things you need to ask yourself and attempt to make that transfer to a resume. You then swallow your pride and submit applications to the lowest of entry level positions, even those just requiring a high school diploma. You need to get your foot into the door.

    Umm..you can go back to school. to do anything with that you are going to need at LEAST a Masters, even then...its rough. My friend has her masters in Psy and she was working as a crisis counselor at a call center. her husband made more money then she did and he did not even go to college. there are many options out there..they just all require more school.
