People who graduated with a degree in psychology! I'm graduating this year but I have absolutley no idea what I can do with my degree. I'm reluctant to futher my studies due to financial issues (£20 to my name) and being generally sick of the bullshit educational system. I've started browsing some jobs, things like support workers and care assistants but they all want either care qualificatins or experience! I'm beginning to realise that I'm qualified/trained for absolutley nothing!
So if you have a psych degree what did you do after? More studies or job? And how did you get into it? Les stress! Thx

But perhaps looking at jobs in the public sector would be a good option, like with your local council etc, it is possible to get some sort of social work based jobs although if you want to progress in them you do currently tend to need specifically a social work degree.
with regards to experience, some of that can be voluntary. CSV are an organisation that do voluntary projects for young people, might be worth checking that out, as they pay for your acomodation and give you money to live on whilst doing it, might not be what you want to do but might be worth it in the long run, as you could then branch in to support work/personal assistant type work.
