Since starting GCSE Psychology in year 11, I became set on a psychology degree. Psychology really fascinates me, particularly the more scientific side - biological and cognitive. I'd love to work with children as an educational psychologist, but I know it's extremely competitive.
Over the summer I've read threads about how little psychology graduates have gotten with their degree. Most are in jobs which do not even require a degree such as healthcare assistants.
I've always thought that, if you can get a job you like without a degree, then don't waste money on the degree. I don't want to be set on falling lucky with an educational psychologist qualification and job.
Can anyone give me any advice (or hope) with regards to my situation?
Btw I've just finished A Levels in Psychology, Biology & Chemistry.
