Graduating with a bachelor’s degree in psychology does not have to mean that you will end up bartending or waiting tables after college graduation. Here are 10 careers you could obtain with a bachelor’s degree in psychology.
10. With a minor in business, you could become a research analyst. Research analysts work closely with the management of corporations to gather, analyze and interpret the data that companies use to market their products.
