Perhaps An Entry-Level Residential Center Position In Psychology Is An Oxymoron

Many of the residential position psychology jobs out there do seem to require a professional degree—either a PhD or a Master’s degree. In my opinion, a professional degree surpasses entry-level status, however, there are a plethora of psychology jobs out there that only require a BA degree. We can discuss both resident psychology and entry-level psychology job opportunities here.
To begin, the jobs for psychologists with professional degrees are a lot more specifically defined to the psychological field. Jobs in clinical psychology, counseling, interpersonal relations…are the gist of the jobs you will find for residential psychology options. I did browse a government job search site and saw a bunch of job opportunities for intelligence specialists, officers and assistants, which seek qualified professional psychologists. These jobs mentioned require a higher-level of experience and training that is not necessary for entry-level job opportunities.
The options are a lot more diverse for the person with a BA degree in psychology. Psychology majors can enter into jobs in business, social services and even research. These topics cover a broad range of job opportunities and are perfect for someone with a psychology-trained mind that does not necessary want the residential psychologist lifestyle named above. So have fun, learn new things and find that psychology job!!
