does anyone know like how easy it is to get a job as a psychologist of some sort after they've finished their degree in it and what sort of things they'd be doing in a job like that, i'm thinking about doing this at uni but i want to safely get a decent job after.
I only want info about this in the Uk, i have no interest in going to america or anything to study or work.
It is not going to be easy. Even if you have your degree, it depends what school you graduated from, because different schools have different levels of psychologist education, some which might be respected more than others. A degree from Cambridge University is going to be more valued and respected than Joe's College for People That Wanna Do Stuff, You Know? Even once you get your degree, you have to find a place of work. Clinics and hospitals are always looking for trained and well qualified workers, but it depends purely on what people are looking for.

I know that psychology is really popular now, so the grade boundaries have rose so its most likely going to asking for all As in your ALevels. As for jobs. well I have a friend with a 1st in Psychology from Manchester University, she has applied for about 200+ jobs, hasn't got any of them.
