<p>Are there any jobs for a graduate with a B.A in Psychology plus courses in Education?</p>
<p>Market research jobs requiring knowledge of the statistical methods and software packages commonly used in those fields. Look at advertising agencies and the like.</p>
<p>How about a tutoring center?</p>
<p>HR? Get a teaching certificate & teach junior high or high school? Reviewing grant proposals with foundation? Writing grant proposals?</p>
<p>Her courses are in elementary education.</p>
<p>My niece with an undergrad degree in psych is going back for a masters in elementary education & will be a teacher.</p>
<p>If she is interested, many agencies that work with autistic children would hire her and train her to use Applied Behavior Analysis. She could then be well-qualified to go for a Master’s and work in schools or as an independent behavior consultant.</p>
<p>My brother has a BA in Psychology and he is a Hollywood film producer</p>
<p>I know 2 psych majors who are thriving in law enforcement.</p>
<p>Be a school psychologist! It requires more training than a BA but school psychologists are heavily in demand to evaluate and help special needs students at the elementary, middle, and high school level.</p>
<p>Friend’s daughter entered a broker’s training program with a psychology degree. Her father worked for the same company, not sure if that made a difference.</p>
<p>Our BA/psych D is a Son-Rise autism therapist and veterinary assistant (on a break before grad school).</p>
<p>Is an autism therapist the same as a special needs teacher?</p>
<p>This is the kind of degree that you could use in almost any entry level position, from Starbucks to investment banking. However, if you want a serious career in psych, you’ll probably need at least a Master’s.</p>
<p>With my BA in Psychology - I became a contract negotiator. The BA is entry level. As stradmom says - do want you wish with it. .</p>
<p>Two of my friends kids have Bachelor’s degrees in psych. One also got her masters from Harvard in psych. Both expect they will have to get their PhDs to do the research they want to do about how people learn and how brains work. They are working while deciding exactly what they want to research and where they want to apply, building their resumes and experiences.</p>
<p>My friend with a psych degree worked for a while as a teacher’s aid & special ed aid & now is working the the business office at the zoo. She refused to get a teaching degree or get more schooling, which she was told she would have to do if she wanted to get a higher paying job in education.</p>
<p>With a teaching degree too would her background in psych make her eligible for a specific type of teaching job?</p>
<p>In HI, all teachers for K-12 need to have teaching credentials. I believe there are limited exceptions for short periods of time. They also have an accelerated program for folks who already have bachelor’s degrees (in any field), but the credential is required. Other schools & states may have different rules. </p>
<p>I believe most CCs & Us require at least Master’s degrees & work toward (or completed) PhD.</p>
<p>There are many folks who have college degrees in HI who are secretaries, government clerical workers, and similar. Many earn pretty low wages, especially for the amount of education they have. I knew an attorney who was serving as a legal secretary for several years as well.</p>
<p>That’s my concern - that will a B.A in Psychology there is not much she can do.</p>
<p>I know an insurance agent that just had a BA in psych. When my son wanted to major in it, I kept thinking of those awful tee shirts that said, “I majored in Psychology” on one side and “Do you want fries with that” on the other. To be fair, there were other majors, but it still haunted me.
I also knew teacher aides, office workers, etc. but many of them didn’t need the degree in Psych primarily.
My son decided to go into School Psych with the thought he could go on from an EdS degree to PhD one day if he changes his mind.</p>
