The majority of job openings in areas related to psychology will likely require graduate work or training beyond the baccalaureate degree. This is particularly true in the following areas: counseling and guidance in the public schools; teaching psychology at the college level; conducting therapy in clinics or in private practice; and working as a school psychologist. There are, however, growing numbers of areas in which the person trained at the baccalaureate level can find vocational opportunities: psychological services in business, industry, and government, particularly related to testing and personnel work; teaching psychology, mental health, and personality development in high schools; assisting in research projects in the behavioral sciences; and working in programs related to governmental agencies, such as the Job Corps, Anti-Poverty, Medicare, Headstart and Upward Bound Programs. Additional opportunities include branches of the military, Civil Service, United States Employment activities, Internal Revenue Service, various levels of state and district courts, law enforcement activities, the ministry, nursing, medicine, and others. The optimum preparation for psychology is basic training in the liberal arts, such as in the biological sciences, the humanities, the physical sciences, and the social sciences, with emphasis on breadth and depth. The minimum of 40 quarter hours in the general area requirements could well be exceeded. Students planning on a psychology major should note that their grade point average in ALL of their college classes is important. Competition for graduate school admission and for positions is keen. For those students definitely planning graduate work, at least twenty-four quarter hours of French, German, Spanish, or Russian, or their equivalent, should be considered. It is highly recommended that such students also take Data Processing 1 and 3, as well as a course in office machines.
