I agree w/Annette as well. I don't know Michael's students, but upwards of 90% (and sometimes higher) of our PSY grads each year either go on to PSY-related grad programs or entry-level PSY jobs. The applicability of a psych degree is exceptionally high, as having an understanding of behavior is necessary in many different careers.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to disagree. I think it's a degree to everywhere. Almost any grad program can be applied to from psych: med school for the biopsych students, law school for those who emphasize some cognitive and theoretical areas (i.e., motivation theories or personality theories), almost any job related to business or communications. I could go on, but the point is you can do almost anything with a psych background, even if you do have to do something more. I think it's by far more versatile than any other degree.
