Before I got my masters in counseling psychology, I got my bachelors in psychology. I can tell you what jobs I had:



Mental Health Technician at a residential treatment facility for children



Therapeutic Staff Support - provided one-on-one therapeutic services to children in their home/school/community



Group Leader - school age child care program



I did those things while I was getting my masters degree. I also know that you can get work as a case manager or entry level position at a mental health facility. You can not work as a social worker as you would need a degree in social work in order to be called a "social worker". These jobs paid fairly well. You do have possibilities. You would qualify for positions at colleges working in student services. You could also qualify for state and local government jobs in human services.

Virtually nothing. That's where they get you. They hook you on psychology, THEN tell you that you're going to need at least a master's to do anything even remotely related to the field! That's how they get cheap, easily exploitable labor in the form of grad students.

ALmost nothing. Bachelor is no job qualification, you need to have a Master Degree.

The BA plus a teaching credential will qualify you to teach elementary school.
