I'm majoring in psychology. There are actually more options than people realize with this degree. You can be a psychiatric tech, which doesn't necessarily pay the best, but you'd get clinical experience. If that's not appealing, you could go into administration and get decent pay. You aren't confined just to psychology jobs. My goal is to become an LCSW once I finish my bachelors. This degree will be hired over other mental health degrees, like an LPC, because the training is more extensive. I work with a lot of LCSW's and they definately recommend getting that degree. There are many more options. Don't let other people talk you out of what you are passionate about. I allowed others to talk me out of it. I wasted my time trying to go to school for nursing, when that's not what I wanted. I just switched back, and am frustrated because I could have been done by now. If you love it, stick with it. There are also a lot of people who say things about psychology degrees, and they have no idea what they are talking about. Research all of your options with a bachelors in psychology, it will show you everything available to you.
