According to the Oregon Employment Department, jobs related to science, math and healthcare are the fastest growing in the state. Fortunately for those studying psychology, graduates typically find work in all three of these areas in varying occupations that are often transferable across industries. Psychology graduates work in fields where they are dealing with people, either directly through human service occupations and administrative and management positions, or indirectly through data analysis and market research.
Psychology graduates come out of school with a well-rounded liberal arts education but also a strong background in the study of human behavior and interpersonal communication. They are able to interview people and collect data--or analyze and interpret existing data--about behavior and decision-making and then communicate their findings in a variety of manners. These skills are applied in the real world in careers such as an employment specialist, where graduates work in career counseling, case management, and recruiting to help others reach their peak potential.
