Psychology
Many occupations today require a college educated individual
who can write and speak well, solve problems, learn new information
quickly and work well with others on a team. This means that college
graduates use their education in a wide variety of fields, and your
future career may relate more to your personal career interests, work
values and transferable skills than any specific academic major. However,
the following list contains a representative sample of job titles of
former graduates with this major. Use this as an idea list, and remember
that it represents some, but certainly not all, of the careers you might
consider.
Students obtaining employment immediately upon graduation
are usually those with the best college records and a willingness to
relocate to find a job. Some of these jobs also require education beyond
a bachelors' degree.
