This third option requires a graduate education. Skills in evaluating, analyzing, interpersonal relations, and communication allow you to work at many different types of occupations with a bachelor's degree in psychology. Your most important task is to determine in what field you want to work. An internship or volunteer work in your chosen area will further enhance your employability. If you want to work in the field of psychology without pursuing an advanced degree, consider the helping para-professions.
Paraprofessionals often function under the supervision of someone with an advanced degree.
They are often involved in direct contact with clients, and sometimes perform many of the same duties as those with more education. However, those with only a bachelor's degree usually start at the bottom and may be limited in the range and depth of the work. Usually they specialize in one type of client, i.e., elderly, emotionally or physically disabled, substance abusers, juvenile delinquents, the unemployed, the abused, criminal offenders, those with mental disorders, etc. Advancement usually requires further education. To demonstrate your potential to future employers in the helping fields, it is important to do an internship or volunteer work within your chosen area of interest.
