My school had around 24 people graduate with psychology degrees. Yes, my school is small, so that made up a big percentage. In the grand scheme of things, psych is a big major. The competition is great, and the jobs are not plentiful.
The good news is that a lot of psych majors end up either being content with their bachelor's or going into social work. The bad news is that the competition for grad programs is absolutely cut-throat and you are against the best of the best.
You get to a point where only GRE scores can save you. And that's B.S.
Sometimes I wish I would have majored in something where my final degree only needs to be a bachelors. Like engineering or something. And be making 45,000 right off the bat.
