(ARA) - When most people think of psychologists they picture Sigmund Freud or Dr. Phil. But in reality, the majority of students with an undergraduate degree in psychology (about 75 percent) do not move onto the graduate or doctoral level, which is required to work in the clinical or counseling fields. So, what can you do with that Bachelor's Degree in psychology?

In the 2008 Occupational Outlook Handbook, the Bureau of Labor Statistics found that the top 10 occupations employing people with Bachelor's Degrees in psychology are:

1. Statistician
2. Probation officer
3. Public relations professional
4. Health educator
5. Social worker
6. Human resources manager
7. Recreational therapist
8. Physical therapist
9. Teacher
10. Dietitian or nutritionist

A degree in psychology strengthens skills in critical thinking, ethics and communication, all of which can help garner higher salaries and job advancement in multiple career fields.

Online classes are becoming an increasingly popular method of obtaining a college degree because of the efficiency, flexibility and cost-effectiveness they offer adult students.
