What field of study should I go into for each of my degrees? (Ten POints to Best Answers) Please help!

Question

I was thinking of getting my bachelor in social studies education and adding psychology classes to the degree so that I can be able to have a job while I work on my masters and doctorate..

I would get my bachelor in psychology but I don't know what jobs I would be able to get with that and if there will be a lot of job openings.

What do you think??

Someone told me that i should diversify a little more..

Honestly with your BA you're not gonna get a job that is going to use your degree...its very rare.  What I mean is...you'll maybe get a job because you have a BA but not because it's in a certain field...what I recommend is what I did...I was a substitute teacher while I was getting my MA....I had a BA in psychology and because I had a degree (didn't matter that it was psych) I got paid more than regular substitute teachers...and it was about 75 a day...which is good for doing your homework while you watch kids...and once I got my MA I was hired where I did my internship...and you can get tons of jobs with your MA in psych. or social work...now I am getting my PhD teaching classes and still making hourly at a private practice that accepts MA clinicians...all worked out.  I'm 27
