Did you know that psychology is one of the most popular undergraduate majors in the U.S., yet only 14% of bachelor's degree holders earned graduate degrees in psychology? As a teacher of psychology, your students may ask you about what kinds of careers are possible with a bachelor’s degree and how the major can prepare them for the future.
Students are encouraged to plan for their career throughout their time as a student and to truly understand how their skills, degree, experiences and brand truly prepare them to land a job that's the right fit.
It’s also crucial for students to hear from their peers and fellow psychology students on how they prepared for their careers, are using their degree in their day-to-day work and what advice they have to offer as students plan for college and careers.
