Work/career uses for psychology Et al

Would love to see the growth in the number of Psychology graduates over the years. Maybe there are just too many being churned out now for the number of real-world places?

When I did it, I don't think there were so many (and there were far fewer universities).

I don't know how many specific Psychology jobs there are available every year.

But there will be 1000s of Psychology students every year.

Depends where you got it?

A friends dad is very high up in a huge uk company and has said degree.

I did my BSc in at Leeds Uni, and there were 100 single honours students enrolled on my course, with over 1000 applicants for that course in the year I started. Entry grades were consequently quite high, purely because of the over-subscription. Any uni worth its salt these days (i.e. basically just a business) would expand the capability to take-on that many students, especially now they can charge whatever fees they want, resulting in a vast number of graduates. People find it interesting (to give an idea, some modules I took had the 100 psychology students, plus another 900 students from other courses taking it as an elective), but in reality there are only very few jobs.
