if you are studying psychology now, what are you planning on doing afterwards?
if you have a psychology degree, what job do you do now? did you do postgrad training?
just researching my options

All being well, I'll have a 2:1, and I go to a decent uni, so that should be enough to get my foot in the door for some decent graduate opportunities.
I wasn't really sure of what career path I wanted to take when I started Psychology at uni but I've found loads of companies were interested in me because Psychology gives you such a broad skillset.
For example, you can easily go into finance or research for example, or you could go down the psychology route (Eg. educational/clinical) or the social work route.
I personally chose to go into market research and I think it's great - Psychology really does open up many doors.
I agree with Pink Soda though, with a psychology degree you can do loads of different things afterwards. Have many ex-classmates who are in market research or organizational psychology jobs in big companies, loading their pockets!
I have specialised in child and adolescent psychotherapy, and I've worked in clinical and educational settings. I'm about to start a Graduate course though.
A psychology degree does have a lot of possibilities and you can work with people in a clinical setting, in a criminal setting or even in a company guiding with recruitment...as well as many other non direct psychology careers.
