[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A bachelors in psychology is essentially worthless. It’s a degree that requires grad school to turn into any sort of career in the field. I have BA in psych. I intended pursue a psyD, but life happened and I never went back. I have worked a variety of jobs from retail to preschool teacher to ABA therapist, but have never made over $40k. [/quote]

Got a Psych degree and worked in Fintech right out of college. Psychology was useful especially when I become a manager.[/quote]

You just proved the point that you can’t work in the psych field with only a bachelors. [/quote]

There are psych BA jobs, but they don't typically pay well.  We hire psych BAs to be behavior health techs at my hospital.  They make about $20 an hour. [/quote]

That is because we are capitalist society, and caring for other humans is valued less than making people rich. 
That does not mean that such work is less important or fulfilling. [/quote]
