Question

what can i do with a bachelor's degree in psychology?

i would love, and will become a school guidance counselor (high school) can i do this with a bachelors degree in psy.

Answer 1

Yes...you can get the job.  Many high school guidance counselors don't even have that degree.  Some have degrees in English.....

Answer 2

You can do a lot of things, but i know if you want to be a counselor theres extra classes you would have to take. You could also be an elementary or psychology teacher if you get your state certification.

Answer 3

In most areas, you won't be making much over $30K with a bachelors in psych.  You could likely work in the social service/non-profit industry.  Psychology is a field of specialization, so you will often have to go to graduate school in order to find a more stable and/or productive career path.  Also, to be a guidance counselor (at least in the US), you definitely would need to go to graduate school and gain your masters degree in counseling. You would then take a test to certify you as a secondary school counselor for middle/high school.  Good luck in your career pursuits!
