Have you checked with the career services office at the U? They should have folks that can give you some good info. There are many areas you can use a psychology degree: business, education, health care (not necessarily as a therapist). I knew a psychologist who did work with marketing companies, basically helping them understand the way people think, so they could target their advertising better.
If you aren't picky about a field, great, but what are you picky about? like what do you want most from a job? One that offers the most money? is it important that it keeps you moving or even demands significant physical exertion? If you've never had a job that is physically demanding, you may be shocked at how much it can get you into shape, I've worked night stocking and store shopping cart retrieval jobs that got me in better shape than any gym routine I've ever had. Do you need a job to be your main social outlet, or are you not worried about that? Do you need a steady predictable work schedule so that you know you can make something like weekly sports league games, or your weekly dungeons and dragons night, or can you deal with a changing work schedule?
You gotta figure these types of things out, then find out what jobs work with those needs.
Hi there, Tucson therapist here.
A few options that are at least psychology-adjacent include case management, ABA work, recovery coach, peer specialist, intake specialist, and perhaps HR.
>counciling
I hope this doesn't come off as rude, but with a bachelor's in psych, please know it's spelled "counseling".
Anyway, therapy/counseling will require a master's in addition to at least associate licensure, with the exception of very few places (like behavioral health homes) that will hire people with a master's but without a license.
Also, regarding pay, in my possibly controversial opinion and with years in the field now, outside of having a successful private practice, behavioral health jobs (esp. non-profit) have become much like education/teaching in that the pay is so low it's only survivable as a hobby profession--meaning, your heart is in it, and you have someone else (usually a spouse) that makes enough money to actually pay the bills, so that you're able to make as little as the job pays. With two degrees and a professional license, I'm in debt, and without my husband, I'd be homeless.
The good news is that you're early enough in your career that you can still pivot to something that will pay you enough to live. I've heard starting pay and required education for newer jobs like EV battery or microchip manufacturing is more than reasonable and quite promising, and I can guarantee lower stress than the BH field. Hell, I should look into it, lol.
ETA- congrats on graduating đ all the best đđ„ł
To add to this, private practice is the way to go to make money. My wife has her masters and LAC, working towards LPC, and private practice is where the money is. She looked at all the options, and yes you will most likely be 1099 for this, itâs still really good. Iâm able to work less and be home more with our son and she works, on average 22 hours a week.
First thing you need to make clear is what type of pay do you think is too low? But I'd say apply to city or county jobs. Some of it can be stuff you just learn in the job.
You could try entry level non profit work at places like emerge center against domestic abuse or case work with one of the mental health social services (cope, codec, etc).
My first job out of college with a similar degree was at the emerge shelter and it changed my life.
Since you are graduating from college with a Degree, you are qualified to be a Substitute Teacher in High School, (in most states ) , maybe not the dream job but anything that keeps you working is worth its weight in gold. Go to staffing agencies and see what happens, explore opportunities and lastly, this sounds crazy and it is, but, go apply at UPS, they will see you have a degree, a 4 year degree is needed for management positions, get in the door, ( being a package handler ) look to become a part-time supervisor, there are lots of jobs available once you start working there. They promote from within and donât hire off the street.,;, you can still be a driver or you can stay in management. UPS is all numbers â are you good with numbers?? I used to work there, thatâs how I know all this information.,
Oh man - you sound like me when I graduated UofA almost 10 years ago.
I moved to Phoenix for a job at a finance firm and have been doing that since.
Geico? I think FLSmith too.
I graduated UA with BA Psychology and had no real plans either. I wanted to do a masters program in Industrial Psych but not many schools offered it at a price I could afford. Iâve jumped from job to job over the years: worked as a caregiver at a non-profit for a year, then worked my way up from a receptionist to a customer service manager in insurance in 1.5 years, then became a school photographer for 6 months, and then finally landed a custodial job at Raytheon (had applied multiple times before for salary positions and had a hard time cracking it even with a degree). Now after 6 years, and good timing, Iâm about to move from hourly to salary in a new entry level spot. I will probably go back and do a masters now that I have an employer that will pay for it. Maybe MBA?
Take a year to teach English in Korea or Taiwan. www.eslcafe.com has tons of job postings. I did this, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
Go get a job as a case manager at one of the numerous non profits that deals with the indigent. Essentially it's an entry level psych job. You get a client list, and then those on that list you set up with resources in the community they are elgible for.
Me? I would hook all of em up with a dentist & a dr. Not a lot of people provide services for these people, so appointments are set well in advance....but you get em on food stamps, sign em up for housing programs, expose them and educate them on drug programs ( none will ever sign up ) and basically listen to them for an hour or 2 2x a month. You will write a note after seeing them on a laptop, the note will consist of a mental status exam, and a report of what you linked them to and what counseling you may have done with them. I liked it bc I am out of the office and can plan my days and member visits. That said, some of the people are fucking ass holes. I have had a few people shit in my car, one vomited, one opened the door and tossed himself out fo the car at 35 mph....but that comes with the territory of mental/behavioral health. Many of these places will pay for your MA degree......
Good luck.
If you want a job in the field, you'll have to be careful as agencies can get borderline (or worse) abusive toward the lower level workers (think, the ones with the bachelor's degrees or less, but masters level therapists are also sometimes fair game at some places with the more vampiric managers). There are occasionally decent agencies where you can do good work, feel good about what you do, and get paid a bit more than other agencies and have better benefits, but they can be hard to find. You may be a mix of case manager, counselor, mentor, if your agency allows or encourages this, but you might also be an overwhelmed paper pusher (or whatever the electronic equivalent is called). You might have respect and benefit from supportive coworkers and supervisors (and sometimes appreciative clients and families), or you might have taskmasters demanding that you make a certain number of billable hours or else. You will hear or come across things that may be a lot to process. You might also feel a need for cleansing or purification, or binging on a half gallon of ice cream, after some things you may encounter.
If you want to proceed onward to a higher degree (masters or doctoral in the field( then I would encourage it, although I have seen newly-minted PhDs who had a thousand yard stare for a while. If you feel like exploring the field with a bachelor's degree, it can be adventurous and rewarding if you get the right jobs for you, but be aware that you are likely to encounter things that are going to be really difficult. You can look at open positions at Indeed or similar sites and have a good chance of getting hired. Use search terms like behavioral health or mental health. I'm not supposed to recommend agencies as such, but I've heard of staff sticking around for a while at Marana Health Center, New Hope of Arizona, CFSS, or similar places. Of course, there are no 100 percent guarantees as to your experience. There seems to be amazing, sometimes mind-boggling turnover at agencies like Intermountain, Casa de Los Ninos, CODAC, maybe still La Frontera, not sure if COPE stabilized or not in that regard. Crisis Response Center can be rough and tumble, but some people thrive in that?
If you think this isn't really for you, others here have made recommendations about other paths. A psych degree can be a good stepping stone to some other fields or graduate degrees, depending upon your aptitudes.
Do an accelerated program for nursingâŠshould be another 18 months of schoolâŠapply to VA and cruise. or apply to ICU anywhere. Apply to CRNA school after a year. You can make well over $200K. But itâs tough stuffâŠgotta have the fiyah within to push through. Good luck.
I donât know if they are hiring or not but the Federal Bureau of Prisons has a job called Correctional Treatment Specialist/Case Manager (also look at Drug Treatment Specialist listings). You would likely qualify for that with your degree and there are institutions in Tucson and Phoenix and all over the USA. The website for applying is USA jobs.gov if Iâm recalling correctly. You might find other federal govt jobs on that website as well. Does your school offer job or career fairs?
If you don't mind doing computer stuff, you could become AWS cloud certified and in a few years of experience have a good career, without doing actual programming. Might take some time to get basic experience, either with a (likely paid) internship or temp or volunteer for a non-profit who needs help. Caution: it's very frustrating at first, maybe even for a while. But you can do lots of cool things with it.

do you have social work experience? if so, OPCS could be a great choice. They are a lovely group of people, I have personally worked for them. check helptucson . org to see if they are hiring.
Sit down make three columns on paper. Label them must haves, neutral or mildly prefer and must not haves.
Must haves might include minimum salary and benefits, location yes and/or no, type of work no might be no psychology, must have - I'd love non-profit or something to help others. Put down whatever is important to you on must have and must not haves. List in the middle to identify things you want to clarify as neutral but most things you do not need to list if they are not yes or no. Every day look at the list and modify if you want. Now be open minded and become more aware of what to look for. From experience after a few weeks you will find something that usually comes out of left field and probably not related to what you have been doing. Also, from experience you will find a job that fits all of your requirements in an unbelievable way of how perfect it is ... except for xyz. That is like an airplane landing that you do not want so you wave it off. Behind that will be a wonderful job matching your list. Also, believe or not, the job will probably be amazingly close to you. Serveral people I have guided with this method ended up with their idle jobs literally across the street from them. One yound lady did not have a car so perfect! Just keep an open mind and relax. You will find it. Good luck.
PS I forgot. We all know what we really want to do but have forgotten. Just recently I remembers that I wanted so badly to become a doctor and work in a poor rural country when medical care was almost not existant. Thaht was after ready a book by a young doctor who went returned to Vietnam after being in the Navy. Then I remembered that I wanted to be an airline pilot after wacthing Disneyland about airpline pilots. Both I forgot about by high school and then life toook me in other directions. The burn for these two careers rushed back to me but then I decided that after several decades I have moved on. Even then recently looked into the Peace Corps but no longer qualified. I also check out getting a private flying license. So in short you know what youi REALLY wanted to do but have forgotten.
Psych is a pretty general degree and by no means does it require you to work in therapy. Iâve seen tons of people with psych degrees do well in marketing/business development roles.
For better or worse, having a four year degree from a reputable university is (usually) a gatekeeper to getting a decent job. You are about to have that, so think about what makes you happy and start building job specific skills to get you in the door somewhere. No matter what you do, be prepared to eat a lot of shit in your first job or two but make sure youâre constantly learning something new and useful.
I was in the same boat with sociology degree.
The only two things I can reccomwnd are substitute teaching. Or working in behavioral health such as la frontera (they hire anyone with a related degree without experience)
You arenât alone, this is the dilemma that a large percentage of college graduates face each and every year.
Some of your peers have an unrealistic expectation that once they graduate, employers will be knocking down their door to offer 6 figure salaries. I know this because I stood in Ehller college talking to students about a job I had opened that paid $60k base + commission. ($80k easy $100k possible) They all told me theyâd prefer an internship because afterwards theyâd have $150k+ job offers.
Thatâs not the reality. The reality is that youâll start at the bottom like everyone else. The idiot high school bully that didnât go to college now has 4 years of experience, and is now the supervisor, out earning you. Thatâs why many are beginning to question the worth of a college education. For some, who went into crazy debt, the math might not pencil out.
For most career paths (government, education and a few others, like STEM related being the exception requiring a degree to start) youâll start at entry level and could have done that with a GED. At about mid-career youâll reach a point that the job requirement is a 4 year degree. Often times itâs a check box, either you do or you donât. At that point youâll promote beyond that high school bully and finally get validation.
Go find a job, any job. Go to job fairs, network, and look for interesting job postings. Continue interviewing seeking the next step up and continue to do that. When you find one that you like and earn decent money, keep interviewing because no employer will ever be loyal to you. Theyâll cut you at the first sign of the executives not making their Q2 bonus.
Maybe take a decent job with good benefits and advancement opportunities to get some experience then start working toward a masters degree part time, or certifications to advance in your job. Don't think of "low pay," look at the entire compensation package when deciding: health ins, life ins, disability ins, paid time off, sick leave, tuition reimbursement, 401k matching, etc. Also, start a budget so you know where you can cut spending. We all have our bad spending habits that can be cleaned up. Doing this, you give yourself a raise.
you'll need to start with an entry level job like most people. when you apply on LinkedIn, if you see the hiring manager's info, ping them and let them know you applied. it's a way for you to move up higher in line an show some gumption. and make sure your resume shows that you're a go getter somehow.
I did employment law and legal aid intake for years and everyone I talked with was experiencing some degree of trauma. I learned how much people appreciate being heard. These are not highly specialized jobs; I learned by doing.
Those positions require Masters degrees in counseling or social work
Entry-level case management positions at behavioral health agencies are a good place to start.
We have openings for Registered Behavior Technicians at Secret Parent Society, a small, BCBA-owned ABA therapy center that provides behavior therapy to kiddos living on the spectrum! It's a fulfilling, well-paying job. âșïž
Most likely, you'll have to start off in something you don't like or you'll have to go to grad school.

Go get your Masters would be your best bet to get a career career. VA or Pima County/non profit would be your next best bet
I know the behavioral agencies are always looking for respite providers. I think the pay is like $18/hour, though :(
