yeah you won tbe able to do anything really without a ma or psy d
Associates Degree–Associated with people who know things.
Bachelors Degree–Able to work independent and know nothing.
Masters Degree–Finally know something but not how to use it.
Phd–More of the same but Piled Higher & Deeper
U Decide
You can work with developmentally challenged people in day programs, group homes, or outreach. From there you can go into management or even start your own group home or day program.
A psych degree is also an advantage in Sales, Office, and Retail. You will be promoted faster b/c of the competitive advantage of understanding human beh’r better.
With a B.A. in Psych. and related business experience, you can work independently as a management/business consultant.
You can’t do any kind of counseling or therapy with just a bachelor’s degree. You will be able to get a job in human resources, or other entry level jobs, but you really can’t get any “psychology” jobs. You could work in a therapist’s office as an assistant, receptionist, etc… but if you want to counsel people, do research, etc, you need at least a masters.
Master’s Degree is what you need.. I took a minor in Psychology! I also worked on Research in Behavior Study for like 3 years. I did want too further it but didn’t have the money or the time to finish it..

Inpatient Psychiatric Hospitalization Following Involuntary Job Loss
This article examines the impact of involuntary job loss on mental health as measured by admission to inpatient psychiatric treatment. Specifically, we investigate the impact on admission due to affective disorders, alcohol or drug abuse, and nervous or stress-related disorders. We focus on job loss due only to establishment closures, as this focus reduces the problem of distinguishing between causation and selection. Using linked employee-employer register data, we identify the job losses due to all establishment closures in Sweden in 1987-88. During a subsequent 12-year period we find that job loss significantly increased the risk of overall inpatient psychiatric hospital admission among women but not among men. When the results are broken down into the specific categories of mental disorders, we find that inpatient psychiatric treatment due to affective disorders and alcohol or drug abuse is significantly higher among the displaced women but we find no such effect for nervous or stress-related disorders. Among men, we find no significant impact of job loss on any of the categories of discharge diagnoses.
