When I was in high school, only 'intro to psychology' was available, but really it depends on your school.  I agree with you, psychology is extremely interesting, but you need a doctorate to be able to do anything with it, unless you just teach it with a master's degree.  There are many opportunities advertised in the back of the magazine "Psychology Today" if you're interested.  Thoroughly research it before you go to college, because you don't want to walk into a major with no ideas about your major's possible careers.  In my college, 50% of the graduates get a job related to the thing they majored in, because most of them didn't know what to do with the degree once they had it.  If you do end up in the psychology field though, good for you!  Many others try and give up.  Good luck.
