Grad School.

A Psych Degree is something you get if you know you are going to grad school.

Inside Jobs has a bunch of jobs you can look through. And it looks like they have a section of psych-specific jobs under the title Mental Health Careers

consider a situation where basic principles of demand and supply are at work.

TONS of kids do philosophy or psychology in college (high supply) mean a low demand in the actual field/workforce and this is ASSUMING you are going to go for a masters. You could teach courses at college, but you would need to have doctorate aka invest in 5 years extra schooling and lessen the current supply.

This is in contrast with law school or profession schools which are academically selective and intellectually demanding like Architecture or Engineering; these jobs, however, have wider scope since almost all towns needs a few engineering and architecture or legal consultants in addition to them being hired by corporate profession firms. This directly equates to a negative shift in supply, making them more 'in demand' with the same amount (years of education).

People's perception of a 'good job' differ greatly, but for most it means financial stability and intellectual challenge. For those, unfortunately, not only would you need to invest in more schooling, but strive to be the top of the class and be very involved. But i'm sure, a mediocre job in these touch times are acceptable to the average american.

Did you not think about a career that you would like before choosing a major??? Seems a bit short-sided to me.

There is a glut of unemployed lawyers. Law school is no longer a good idea.
