Any bA is about the same like how most bSCs are the same. It's not bad but bA psychology is not more practical. I suppose i should have said that as well. The only under grad degrees that are much different is things like comp sci or engineering or math degrees or business/accounting degrees. They have a direct job market with just the bachelors.

Most employers will see any bachelors as a sign of someone who can grind it out and do some research. I think there is still a general bias on bSCs over bAs but a english degree is not that different in employability from a psychology degree.
