More Possible jobs??

I stumbled up an article by Shelly K. Schwartz called "Working Your Degree." It caught my attention because it was a  report on the top 10 occupations that employ students with only a bachelor's degree in psychology.  As a psych major, I’m constantly wondering what I’m going to with this degree, or if I should keep going and get a master degree. Sometimes I even wonder if I should be a psych major at all! Schwarz’ list discouraged me. She lists jobs like marketing, sales, accounting, human resources. I didn’t major in psychology to be an accountant! I became a psych major because… well it is all explained in my "Why did i choose this major" post. I guess all these jobs have *something* to do with human relationships, but accounting??! Shelly K. Schwartz, in an article called "Working Your Degree," reported that the top 10 occupations that employ students with only a bachelor's degree in psychology are:

• Top- or mid-level managers, executives and administrators
• Sales
• Social Work
• Management-related occupations
• Personnel, training and human resources or labor-relations
• Administrative jobs
• Insurance, real estate and business services
• Marketing
• Registered nurse, pharmacist, therapist and physician's assistant
• Accountant, auditor and other financial specialists

 As you review the list, you'll notice that most of these jobs involve dealing with people. Since psychology is the study of human behavior and organizational behavior, a 4-year degree in the field offers a good understanding of people, their motivations and why they act as they do. In addition, psychology teaches to think critically as well as creatively, so graduates generally have excellent communications skills :-)
