Psychology is one of the most popular majors in spite of the fact there are essentially no jobs for a person with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology.

You can only realistically expect to make a living in this field if you get a PhD so you can set yourself up in private practice as a Psychologist. To do this you have to graduate from your bachelors program with a GPA of at least 3.0. If you think you can do this and commit yourself to at least 4 years of additional schooling after you get your bachelors, then great.

But if you do not think you will get at least a 3.0 or do not intend to stay in school past your bachelors degree then you should consider a different field.

And since you need a PhD and once you have a PhD no one really cares where you got your bachelors, just go to the place you can go for the cheapest, generally your closest state university, as an in state student.

If you do not want to pursue a masters in Psychology, you can also go into a masters program in a lot of other areas or to law school as well.

People with only an undergrad degree in psychology made a starting salary of $ 36,000 per year on average in 2009 according to:
