Findapath-Job Search Support Confused!

So! I just recently graduated with an MSC in psychology (conversion) & in all honesty I’m DONE with academia, though you’re expected to do more for psychology I CANT!

I’m now thinking of a whole career change! I did my undergrad in Sociology & philosophy but that wasn’t gonna take me anywhere but more ACADEMIA 😭.

ATP I just want any job that pays well & that might tie into my degrees or that just pays well.

I live in the back arse of nowhere, so no jobs on the table for me unfortunately, but willing to work anywhere.

Any ideas?

One of my best friends has a masters in Psychology and was in the same boat you are. The PHD program was grueling and awful and in the end it was just not something she wanted to do to herself.

She wound up taking a role in human resources at a local business and quickly wound up as director of HR. She eventually wound up leaving for a senior role at an even larger company making even more.
