Deciding what to do with my B.A.?
I am currently majoring in Psychology, but have heard many people say that you can't get a good job with just a B.A. in Psychology. I would like to work in a health care setting, but I don't think I would want to get a PhD since it takes way too long and I don't want to be in school my whole life. I heard someone say that after you complete your B.A in Psychology, that you can complete a two year diploma to become an RPN (Registered Practical Nurse). Is this true? I find it strange that you can become a nurse in only two years, but I heard that you are able to because you would already have a bachelor's degree. If all of this were true, would my salary be that of an RPN who has JUST the two years of college or would it be higher because I also have a B.A? Also would it be helpful to have a minor in Biology? I am trying to decide whether or not I should have a Biology or Criminology minor. Although criminology seems pretty interesting, I personally don't think it would be of much use (especially since Canada is not "so bad"). Any help would be appreciated. Also it would be much better, if people answered regarding to what is expected in Ontario since I don't think I would ever move to the United States or another province. Thank you I am asking this because I find it pretty discouraging and disappointing to finish university and have spent so much time studying in order to earn $10 an hour. People are telling me that it would be best for me to do an M.BA but I don't think I would like that as I am not really a "business" type of person - I am more into helping people out, not competing with them. At my university, the Psychology is not a joke they combine with a lot of tough classes including neuroscience and chemistry. I didn't want to pick a major I was miserable with so I chose Psychology. There are people I know that have finished Biology or Chemistry and have "worked hard" but also make $10 an hour.

What did you expect? You should have been willing to try harder in school and gotten a real degree. However, there are 3 types of nurses: Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN): 1 year degree Registered Nurse (RN): both associates (2 year) and bachelor's (4 year). There is no real distinction between the associates and bachelor's in the workplace except for advancement opportunities. Nurse Practitioner (NP): Master's degree done after the RN bachelor's.
