Career Resource Center: What You Can Do With A Degree in Psychology?
You love psychology!
But what if you don’t want to be a psychologist or counselor (forever)? Are these the only career paths available, or are there other options?
Or maybe you simply don’t want to limit yourself too much. You’d prefer to keep your options open, in case something more interesting comes up (like pet psychology).
Fortunately, many other people have asked these same questions, and numerous career counselors have compiled lists of ideas to answer these questions.
Start with the following links:
Major Resource Kits from the University of Delaware link psychology majors and graduate degrees to career alternatives by providing information on career paths and sample job titles
Graduate Psychology Degrees includes descriptions plus links for more information
Social Psychology Network information about careers in psychology
Resources for Psychology Degrees numerous links to professional organizations and more
