Hello there! I currently work in billing at a medical office. I got my Bachelors in Psychology a few years ago but I couldn’t find a position that seemed like a good option for me that was well paying and fulfilling. I tried working as a tech at an Applied Behavior Analysis clinic but it wasn’t a good fit. I’m hesitant to try case management or social work because I worry I won’t like it but I want to use my degree in Psychology. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

Do not get into social work unless you are truly passionate about it. It does not pay well and is very trying.

Sounds much like my situation except I’m salaried with an expectation to meet a total of 25 units. 70% of the time my discipline is underutilized, so there is not much opportunity to exceed 25 units (which is supposed to be incentivizing…..but).

You can do HR, you can do people consultant in tech companies. You can do so much that pays better but social work. Agree with the SW1 above. Dont do it unless you are passionate about it. But there is so much you can do with your degree particularly you have a billing background.

Also, if you can do masters in psychology but specifically organizational psychology, it is big now and you can work for big companies.

My pleasure!

How about working as a clinician in a hospital, HR, working in probation, marketing, or journalism? There is so much you can do.
