Everyone that I've met tells me not to do psychology because there is not much scope for it...why?
I personally think psychology is very important, however, the only reason I want to do is because I'm interested in that area.....I've done a lot of research, almost all of them does not recommend psychology as a career. Although it is my passion, I don't want to end up working so hard for something that won't even pay me off. I'm thinking of taking psychology at U of T.
So basically, I want to know the scope for psychology, how much I've to study to develop a career on it, the salary when I do get a job?
Please give out your opinions and ideas. Thanks.
How come pursuing a career in psychology is not recommended?

I sure will answer your question! :) Ok, first of all I think if you love psychology that much then you should definitely pursue it! Psychology really shows you how people think so it will help you with almost any job out there. Look at the article I attached and you will see that there are basically no limitations to what you can do with a degree in Psychology. Also, if you really want to go far with just Psychology, then perhaps you should look into teaching it at a big University(which does require a doctoral degree). If I'm not mistaken, the average salary for a Psychology professor is around $65,000 a year (depending on your background and where you are teaching), but that is good money! And, you will get possible raises and bonuses. There is a chance you could get tenured as well, which is ideal. If you're still not sure, just don't forget to take a look at the article I mentioned earlier! Hope everything goes well! Oh, and remember this: "Do what you love and the money will come!".

I is needed, but you need to have a PhD to actually do anything with your degree. Psychologists can make a lot of money once they're there (100,000/yrs) but with at least 9 years of studying you really have to like what you're doing and be good at it.

A degree in Psychology prepares you for nothing that is relevant to the job market.
In addition, there are a gazillion people graduating with degrees in this major.
There are NO jobs requiring bachelors' degrees in Psychology. There are a few jobs for people with masters' degrees in Psychology. You need a doctorate to find a job as a psychological clinician.
If you don't believe this, check job listings on one of the job boards. Nobody cares about a useless degree.

A psych uni degree gets you no where. trust me. i know a handful of people with psych degrees, including family members and they are not working in that field.
BUT - if you specialize in a specific area of psych you are more likely to get a job.
