Depends what degree. To be a Psychologist you need either a PH.D. or Psy.D. and they take a while. You either need bachelors or masters to be like a school guidance counselor I believe. Search the web, I've found a ton of stuff on it.

I'm a psychology graduate and I'm quite happy with my choice. I think psychology is a great degree because it's fairly general so you can do a wide range of jobs after graduation. With just an undergraduate degree you might be able to get a job as an assistant psychologist, a research assistant or a tutor. However, ultimately you would probably need to decide which area of psychology you find the most interesting and consider further studies (Masters degree followed by Doctorate degree). I guess the pay is not as good as if you did a business degree but I think it's more fulfilling. Good luck with your studies! Btw, this is just to give you an idea of what your career options and it's definitely worth contacting career services at your uni or look it up online.
