Career Choices with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology

Most practicing psychologists start by earning their bachelor's degree in psychology, then obtain an advanced degree. To have a private practice as a psychologist in many of the top areas of study, such as Clinical Psychology, a minimum of a master's degree is mandatory.
