While in grad school, you can possibly do some work in a hospital or mental heath center, but it may not be what you are expecting, perhaps a research assistant or clerical staff. With the BS you can also work in a variety of office and sales positions. Currently 75% of college graduates don’t work in their field, so any office job requirign a college degree will be open for you.

Once you complete the MS you can start working for the state and towards your certification, but with only the BS you will be pretty limited to the things you can do that actually pertain to your field; no clinical work or therapist work.

Good luck in your studies and future, just do whatever job pays you some money and allows you to continue your education; it will all work out in the end.

Isn’t being a psychiatrist like being a doctor? There are probably plenty of career choices in psychology, in lots of fields. The grade schools sure could use some help. I hope this is of help.

Join the Navy, part-time, they’ll pay for your tuition too, plus the Navy is so much better then the ARMY. Its cleaner, less physical, and its more intelligent based. Less Grunt.

Plus you Get Dental, Health, Lower Intrest Rates, Better Savings Intrest. Look into it.

Well, you know in order to become a psychiatrist you have to go to medical school and become a doctor with a specialty in psychiatry.

is hard to find job just a BA phychology. Especially one that is related with your major. Because most phychology related job wanted license or doctor. U best chance is to work a job that’s not related with your major, government probably is your best luck.
