There are a lot of jobs that you can have with a Bachelor's or Master's in Psychology, but I want to know what are some of the best jobs with these degrees. Is going to school worth it in the end?

I know a few people who actually work for school districts and do well. They are offered benefits along with a nice salary and some don't work 12 months. You can also work in a private practice setting part time which can bring in the extra earnings. My belief is nobody can ever have enough education. In the longrun, learning is earning.

My daughter is currently in university doing a double major in Psychology and Anthropology. She wants to be a Forensic Psychologist and, for that, she definitely needs a Masters... so she's still got a lot of schooling ahead of her. I think education is always valuable. I hope she will find work in her chosen field when she is ready *crosses fingers*

Pschology is an interesting course. You can find work in the universities, research centres, industry, counseling and adolescent agencies and what have you. I think you can also set up your consultancy agency

Yes, of course going to school is worth it. The pay of a psychologist is good. Moreover, with a psychology degree (master's), you can also be a researcher or a statiscian. Or you cld even be employed as a company psychologist or a school counsellor. I think a psychology degree will give you quite a number of career choices. Overall, the pay is good (whether you want to be a psychologist or researcher, etc) and if pay is a top priority, then I think pursuing a psychology degree wld be a gd option. Moreover, with a psychology degree, you will be in a gd position to understand human behaviours and motives and that might serve you well in your personal relationships.

Depends on the country you are living in. I can tell you general jobs as a Psychologist and you can have a search in the city you are living to find more information like exact places to work, money etc
