So I'm a senior in hs and I get good grades and I'm taking 4 ap classes, so I'm pretty dedicated to school. I really want to study psychology, but I feel like if I major in psychology I will have to go school for more than 4 years and the only career I know that you can get from a psychology major is a therapist/counselor and I really don't want to be that. I took ap psych in hs and I just want to study it deeper in college, but should I major in it? I have no career plans and I don't really have any other majors in mind. So I guess my question is what other careers can come out of a psychology major and how many years of school would it take? I really want a good paying career lol. Thanks! =D
 
It's true that if you want to practice most psychology related fields you'll need a graduate degree. (i.e. MS in Clinical Psychology, 2 years past college, MD, and Residency in Psychiatry, 7 years after college) However, the military has a lot of opportunities for additional training for Psychology graduates, so that may be a course you pursue.
