If you are majoring in psychology (or simply considering it), it is important to spend some time thinking about your career goals. The career path you plan to take will play a major role in the type of degree you need to earn. While a bachelor's degree may be sufficient for some entry-level careers, many more advanced positions require a master's or doctorate degree. For example, you should earn either a Ph.D. in Psychology or a Psy.D. if your goal is to someday own and operate your own psychotherapy practice.
