What jobs can you get with a Bachelor of arts degree in psychology?
I'm thinking about taking my bachelor of arts in psychology next fall, and I'm just trying to figure out exactly what sorts of jobs I can get with this degree.
And how financially stable would those jobs be?
I'm too lazy to look around google right now, as my computer is going really slow.

You will be at an odd-job that eventually becomes your rut for the next 7-10yrs...completely unrelated to Psychology. And it's a BA in Psych, not a BS so your chances at most of the jobs related to Psych is basically none.
Psych (along with English, History, Literature, etc.) does NOT make you competitive at all in the job market. These are the majors who become college-educated bartenders and baristas. Ask your bartenders if they have a college degree and what major...you'd get quite a few. These people do the jobs that have nothing to do with their educations.
The job market for new grads right now is terrible. I'd keep delaying graduation and switch to a BS option and then go to grad school. Then you can stop there and be a Research Assitant (low $, gonna need a second job) or continue going to school to get a PhD to eventually become a clinical shrink. OR switch your major...I would.
