What can I do with a masters degree in psychology?

I am hoping to get a career that would require masters in psychology. However, the company I hope to work for is very picky and it is very difficult to be accepted. What kind of careers could I get with a masters in psychology, should being hired by said company not go so well?

    What would you like to do with your degree when you are done with your Master's: work in business, do research, work in the schools, or be a therapist/counselor? You have to answer this question before you can really choose a Master's program. Business = Industrial/Organizational Psychology, Schools = School Psychology, Therapist/Counselor = Community or Clinical Psychology or a Counseling Masters, Research = any of the above or social or experimental psychology.

    Also, many Master's programs offer graduate assistantships that pay your tuition for you working part time hours in a position on campus. However, you would have to go to school full-time to get one of these. I made it through my school psychology program with a 20 hour grad assistantship plus working part time outside of school.

    Good luck!

    You could become a counselor or look into government jobs(state and federal) where you'll be dealing with the public(they'll like the psych degree). Sales, jury selection consultant to law firms, career counselor.

    Go for your PhD or PsyD. I have a BA in psych and there is nothing out here for anything less than a doctor. If it were possible for me to continue schooling right now that's what I'd be doing.

    Real estate, security, sales, etc. Psycholgy is still very general; with a teaching certificate you could teach just about anything anywhere. Be confidant.
