"Smart" Degree Options for Middle-Aged Non-Manager Type :)

[dfrecore]

Being a university professor, particularly a psychology professor, requires a PhD. A community college requires a master's degree. There are so many people who have master's degrees in the social sciences it's going to be difficult getting hired. You mentioned online education. What do you think this will pay?

I don't think anyone here said that you should get your Psych degree to become a Psych professor. I agree with Jennifer that if you are looking for a teaching position, then a CC is the way to go, and the HR degree is also the way to go.

If you are looking to do something in the Business Analyst field, then a degree in Psych will probably not be helpful. You could either finish the Psych degree and then get an MBA, or you could switch to a BSBA. I don't think most Business Analyst jobs require an MBA, so it won't be quite as helpful to you, but it certainly can't hurt.
