Question: What kind of job can I get if I have a degree in psychology? 

Answer: My daughter has a degree in psychology.  She works as a behavioral therapist with youth and adults with autism.  Your best options will probably be in similar types of jobs - counseling and behavior therapy, especially if you don't have a masters degree.  \n\nIf you have only an undergraduate degree my advice would be to work for a couple of years to get good experience, and then go back to school and get a masters as more opportunities.  You might also consider volunteering for a crisis center or shelter - you may even be able to get a job there in some aspect of therapy, support, or counseling.  You can't work as a psychologist with just an undergraduate degree, but I expect you know that. \n\nMany large companies are interested in individuals with psychology degrees as they are realizing that the more technical degrees don't necessarily always prepare individuals well for the real life of work, so check out job postings in areas you might like to live.  You never know what may turn up.\n\nWhat I always advised my children was if they saw a job advertised which they were interested in and thought they could do, apply, even if they didn't have the exact qualifications.  If you can present yourself well, and are a quick learner, interviewers pick up on that - they are always looking for people with potential.  \n\nBest of luck with your job search.
