What jobs are available for someone with an associates degree in psychology? |
I am a couple months into my associates degree in psychology. I still have a little ways to go until I'm able to get my degree. But, I was wondering, what kind of job oppurtunities are out there for a person with only a assciates degree in psychology. If you have any information please share with me. Thanks! That's an interesting question. I suppose that I am rather qualified to answer it as I happen to have a Bachelors Degree in Psychology. Frankly, having my degree in Psychology never ever did "get me a job", at least not in a direct sense. I went straight from graduating college to 4 years in the USAF and then went right into Insurance Sales and Sales Management... and then later started my own Insurance Agency. My question to you... and this is only for you to answer for yourself... Do you want to just get a job and hope that this degree may help you in getting it, or do you want to have a career in Psychology?? If you just want to get a job and to be able to say that you have a degree.. then go into marketing or sales or virtually any other job that simply wants you to have a degree in anything.. Don't expect the AA or even a BS degree in Psychology to get you very far in that field. To get any where in the field of Psychology itself really does require a minimum of a Masters Degree... preferably combined with one of the "ancillary" counseling degrees or related professional designations.. Ideally, to ultimately go for your Doctorate Degree in Psychology would take you the farthest, though that would take a few years and a lot of hard work. You could be completing the requirements for that on a part time basis though, while you are working in some capacity in the field of Psychology... after you have completed your Masters. All this hinges on whether you simply want to get a job or to have a long term, meaningful career in Psychology. Good Luck!! If you would like to contact me directly, you are welcome to do so.
