I'm graduating soon from college with my bachelor's degree in psychology. It's so hard trying to find an entry level job even before graduation! Any advice?

After graduating from college with a bachelor's in psychology, I went to graduate school for social work. However, I quickly realized it wasn't for me, and I left the program and instantly went into search for a job. I'd sent out like 3-5 applications a day, and I did this for like 2 months. I very rarely got calls, and when I did, most of the jobs were not desirable, because it was an hour and an hour and a half away. Needless to say, it was a very depressing two months.

However, in the third month, I landed an interview, and ended up getting the job. It was for an established company that felt like a start up (meaning they were very relaxed). It paid 42k, with amazing benefits and plethora of time off and sick days. It was a steal.

There's hope. It just takes time. It also takes a good, personable interview. Psychology is an amazing degree, and it makes you very versatile. If any of you have an interview, and would like any collaborative help on how to prepare, feel free to reach out! Or ask a question here, and I'll get back to you. :)

I am starting to worry because I am about to graduate with a Bachelors degree in Psychology in Addictions and I can't even get an interview. I am just hoping that I have wasted a lot of money. I just don't know what to do.

My career goal is to one day work for a university conducting research on developmental psychology and teaching some courses on the topic along the way.

I am currently in school working on my degree in Psychology. Does anyone know if I'm allowed to work in. Psychology setting job before I earn my degree? I would like to work even receptionist at a Psychology setting job to get a vibe of what it's like. If I am allowed, where would be good places to apply at?

I received my MBA, then Master's in Psychology working on Phd, and still cannot find an entry level or internship to break into the psychology field. I live in Lansing Michigan area, is there anyplace that will give me a chance. I have several years experience in accounting, but want to do a career change.

The skills that I have acquired through work experience and receiving my degree, B.S, in Psychology(The Dean's List), allows me to be able to not limit the jobs that I'm applying for. The reason for this post is that I know that if given the opportunity, as done with past employment, I will advance and be very successful working with a company expecting positive growth results,
