[nabs-l] Tips for soon-to-be grads who are looking for work

[Ashley Bramlett]

Gloria,
What do you want to do? FYI, you cannot exactly use a psychology degree 
without being under someone's supervision. You have to have a masters in 
psychology to practice therapy independently.
However, a related job using the people skills you studied in psychology can 
be obtained.
You may be able to get a support role job in the federal government under 
Schedule A, the hiring authority  for disabled applicants.
You may also be qualified for a job in sales, marketing, or outreach in a 
nonprofit if that interests you.
Sociology is also a good major. Its interesting; I loved my intro to 
sociology class.
Ashley

Hi,
This is a great question and any suggestions will be welcomed. I just
graduated this past spring with a bachlers in psychology and sociology and
am worried about finding a job. This is a scary situation to be in.
