It depends what your values are and what you want out of a career. With a BA degree in psych you can't do much, but you can be a case manager, and you can work in mental health in a position that doesn't require a degree like staff in a group home or psych hospital. If you go on for your Master's degree you can work as a Marriage and Family Therapist, Counselor, or Social Worker. Salaries vary but you can make between 30 and 45K a year. There is job security because even during a recession we need mental health services to prevent worse things from happening.
