I am about to graduate with a bachelor's degree in psychology.  At first i was really set on teaching but i think i would rather go into psychology but i wanted to know where i should look for jobs so that i can gain experience while i get my master's degree
man, with the answers i am getting, they are all great don't get me wrong, but teaching is sounding soooo much better!

Unfortunately, there is not much value in a master's degree in psychology. It will qualify you to teach psychology at community colleges, but it won't help for any professional positions you might apply for, and you can't become a counselor with it; you'd need to get a doctorate to practice or become licensed. So make sure a master's is really worthwhile before you get it.

With just a bachelor's degree in psychology, you can go many places. Human services occupations, human resources, analysis, etc. If you specifically want to counsel, look into getting a job that will lead to an MSW rather than an MA or MS.

You need a doctorate to do well in this field. There are 20 undergrads in psych for every job available that can use the degree. Employers know this and demand a masters or a doctorate now to weed out those who are not truly dedicated to their craft.
