If you are any good at reading people, try political reporting. Your background should be helpful in researching and analyzing statements made by politicians, often influenced by paid advisors. Journalism skills might become necessary. If you are photogenic enough, TV is an option. The job is not easy or comfortable. It may involve extensive travel, low pay, and physical hardship. If you are any good, success will follow.sed on the experience of a 65 year old guy that wished he had followed up his education after Viet Nam, and taken his own advice.
This is just a thought, ba

I started off as a psych major. I was very good at chemistry and biology so I pursued a medical degree. Psychiatry was considered the natural choice but I wanted something more indepth where I could work on root causes not deal with end problems. I enjoy surgery and research so I became a neurosurgeon/neuropsychiatrist. It has been a very long road but it is fulfilling. If you are not that inclined for the sciences then there are many industries that use psychologists at the social level. Advertising, communications, education, business consulting, marketing all use them.

Psychology is one of those majors you can pretty much apply to anything, and if you can't figure out what you want to do, you can always teach :-D
