Do you get better-paying jobs with a degree in Psychology than a degree in literature?

Yes, usually literature majors get jobs at Dairy Queen. You'll probably end up at an Applebee's or TGI Fridays.

Listen, if you think literature is a better route than medical school, you're nuts....so you may want to major in Psychology to figure out yourself....However, a Masters in Psych is almost worthless...except for the credential value...however it may land you a community mental health counseling degree with a bachelor's in Social Work/Master's in counseling....so if you're going to go big...go for a Phd...And become a psychiatrist.....Now that's good money. Put the Lit. on the back burner unless you want to end up reading poetry to a bunch of Fleebs at some coffee stand across the street from Border's.

To get the better paying jobs in psych, you will need a Master's degree (minimum).
