Question by <3: “What choices do I have if I get a bachelor’s degree?”?
Ok so I barely started college and im in the process of choosing a career. I’ve done alott of research but haven’t really found that many options that go with me. With the lifestyle that I want, I don’t want to be going to school for a long time, so im thinking of just geting a bachelor’s degree. Im interested in working with helping people, such as teenagers or children. Im a REALLY good listener, and Love helping people feel better. The problem is for psychology/counceling careers at least a masters is required :/ .. So what are career options out there? or what should I major in?

Answer by Amber Marie
Actually they do not, I don’t know where you have read that! Have you thought about going into social work? That is your best option for a job with just a bachelors. You can work in Psychology or counseling with just a BA, but the pay will be less, which is to be expected when you sacrifice a higher degree because you do not want to be in school a little bit longer.
