The specific jobs that requires a psychology degree are in:

•

Wellbeing practitioner

•

Clinical psychologist

•

Academic/researcher in psychology

Then you have the wide option of jobs that accept degrees in any subject or do not require a degree in the first place. The list is kind of long, so I won't bother listing them unless there's a specific type of job that you are going for.

The psychological field tend to be very competitive, so I would only recommend going into it if it's 100% the only thing that you want to do and be willing to do everything you can to go the distance.

You don't need a psychology degree to be a wellbeing practitioner (although it is probably the most common route - https://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/graduate/taught-degrees/child-and-young-person-iapt-therapy-pg-dip#:~:text=Normally%20a%20minimum%20of%20a,a%20UK%20university%20or%20overseas)

And there are other psychologists other than clinical. All of those jobs require a psychology degree or conversion course

There may be some people who work in psychology departments who have done other degrees (e.g. statistics), although that will also be less common (e.g. they might have done a psychology academic masters)
