[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Psychology is a fascinating field but I know people who have PhDs in psychology and still struggle to find work. The ones who do a better are the people who enjoy the statistical aspect of it and are able to write computer algorithms to crunch the data. I know that doesn't sound very psychology-like but you will be required to understand statistics to finish your degree(s).[/quote]

My cousin is a psychology major who went into data science for his PhD. He now works for a major insurance company making $$$. Data science/stats is where it's at! [/quote]

+1  I have a BS in Psychology and started work right out of college in marketing research and then got an MBA and continued in the same field.  I hire interns for my firm and we often hire psychology students and our most recent new hire was a psychology/economics double major.

However, with a 2nd major in literature it might signal to me that you are less interested in the quant side of the field.[/quote]
