see my website linked below. click on c-disc and then on the careers page. there are tons of links there dedicated to BA level careers. There are many more websites on the internet as well. We also hold a career night every fall and invite back local alumni who have careers in areas as diverse as gerontology, marketing, banking, and nursing. Students can hear how psychology can help you with skills in virtually any career, and you don't have to go to graduate school. we focus on things like critical thinking, understanding human behavior and motivation, and effective oral and written communication skills. By the way, related to the last few days of threads, i have to say our graduates actually DO have the skills described in this email, regardless of how far away they are from them in their first two years!
