Pair psychology with statistics, research methods, UX, data analytics or business if you want more options. Psychology plus strong research and data skills can be valuable. Psychology alone with no internships can feel vague.

Answers & Discussion
If you want to become a psychologist, therapist or counselor, graduate school is usually part of the path. That is not bad, but it means you should understand the cost and timeline before choosing the major. Do not discover that in senior year.
Psychology is not useless, but you need a plan. Without graduate school, many people go into HR, case management, sales, research assistant roles, marketing or nonprofit work. The degree teaches human behavior and research, but you need practical skills too.
