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

Couldn’t be too useless as you’re a lawyer now. In fact to get into law school, you could major in anything so if that’s you’re interest why not?

Lots of MSWs started out with psych undergrads. I feel like I know many more who started out psych than with SW undergrad major (which was what I did).

Interesting that you mentioned this. My daughter is interested in psychology and HR. I just recently found out about this track so we are doing some research on it. I don’t want her to just get a general psychology degree unless she also has a minor/major in something like marketing.
