I've got a B.A. AND a M.A. in Psychology and am currently working towards a Ph.D. (very slowly though because I have to work too). I plan to do 60% research/40% Clinical stuff (only to pay the bills though).
Unfortunately there isn't much you can do with just a B.A. in Psychology. For that matter, there isn't much you can do with a B.A. in the majority of fields either.
He shouldn't dispair though. He needs to take some time and figure out what he is truly interested in. Chances are, he'll be able to incorporate his psych degree into it.
How about a job in Pharmaceutical Sales? I am in the interview process right now with Ortho-McNeill. Does he know how much $ Pharmaceutical Sales Reps get? Very, VERY decent scratch, usually with perks such as a company car, bonuses, etc.
Ortho-McNeill is interested in my BECAUSE of my Psych background.
Suggest that to him and let him chew on it awhile!
