OP why didnt you just become an engineer, brah? Then you wouldnt be having this problem right now tbh.
should look into the possibility of continuing your study as a graduate student imho. your only 20 and it's too young an age for you to devote yourself to a tedious job, just wait till the economy recovers and it's gonna be easy for you to get a much better job than what you can get right now tbh

yeah I'm going to go back and do honors soonish
your probably right, my sister is studying engineering and will always have a job once she finishes
Was just kidding, bro. If you like and enjoy psychology then theres nothing wrong with that career path. I would recommend that you go to graduate school though, cause atleast here you cant really do much with just a batchelors degree...youre only 20 anyways so why be in a hurry to start working. Take your time and enjoy school, youll have your whole life afterwards to work. Finish graduate school and then you can be a licensed psychologist which should open up your options alot.
No one goes into Psychology or the helping field for the money. A starting salary is in the mid 20s low 30s. The post grad education is a must. Military social workers can make close to 80k with the right license.The 40 was without the licensing which is still double the starting. My job is not about making money. I will never be living in the Dominion. That was something that I understood from the start. And something that the OP probably knows as well.
And accounting isn't for everyone. Jesus ing Christ. The mentality that a liberal arts degree is is complete ing bull . Without social services veteran's would come home from war with even worse PTSD than they have now, children would suffer through even worse abuse than they are now and homeless people would not receive job training. And don't forget substance abuse assistance.
Oh, it all makes sense now - making a salary after 7 years of study - but you're doing it for da kids
Besides, I doubt Aussie guy mentioned anything about wanting to make money for the rest of his life just so he can help out veterans and kids....

Yeah over here it's a little bit more valuable than getting a B.S. in Toilet Cleaning. You have to go on to med school, nursing school or get a PhD with it to go anywhere.
Interesting study tho tbh imho
A "coupon" for changing the name of your bas child? damn dude, some things should be paid in full. I'm sorry to hear that thispegoI had the money, wouldn't you search for a "coupon" if one were available?
"I'd like to pay full price for these wares please!"
household is still not doing so well. Hey, if you didn't get all those speeding tickets, maybe you could have gotten that better job, remembah?
Okay. Well, I know we'll never agree so I'm done arguing. Have a good day sitting a a cubicle while I'm sitting at home in my pajamas writing case notes.Oh, it all makes sense now - making a salary after 7 ears of study - but you're doing it for da kids

Why would a social worker in pajamas be firing me.
Aussie I have a friend who has a degree in Film from NYU…He could not land a job that paid over 15 dollars per hour…He went back to school and became a licensed therapist…In So Cal our therapist have therapist…Our dogs see a therapist…In any case my friend is making 200k a year for asking self absorbed rich people “and how did that make you feel”…Seems to me with a degree in psychology you are more than half way there…
There are plenty of fields that REQUIRE a Master's Degree but start at about $40,000 for those who choose that this is the work they want to pursue. Not everyone makes decisions based on how they will make the most money.
I didn't say I would be firing you. I said he would be firing you. HR is not my gig.
Well,there are people in Greece that have degrees in economics or engineering and can't get a job.Let alone psychology. fml
Yeah I can tell.
The only way an HR rep can recommend firing anyone is if they do/say something really stupid.
Saying lol psychology degree under an anonymous screen name on a sports message board on your own time is not one of those things.
Here in America we just crank out way more psych graduates than there are jobs available in that field. So the story about a psych major not being able to find a job is pretty common over here and a negative stereotype around that degree has been created as a result.
Should have gone for an art history degree tbh.
This. I took an intro to Psych class and it is pretty interesting so it's understandable why a lot of people choose it but then again a lot go on to further education so there's no point in hiring graduates with only B.S. degrees.
is 40k a year with a masters degree supposed to be good?
The bottom line is that any non-technical undergrad degree today is the equivalent to what a high school diploma was 30+ years ago (while high school diplomas aren't worth the paper they're on). The labor force is so flooded with people who get a liberal arts degree that a mere degree is worthless without a skill that is actually used in the real world.
, masters in scientific fields are not what they used to be. I came out with my Masters and couldn't find jack . I needed to attend a post-grad program tailor to the pharma field (w/ an internsip component) before I found my career.
On a silver lining note, the US does have the best educated barristas in the world. So there's something for us to feel good about.
