The real answer is what @carrotsss said, it depends on your major(s), and Honours. There are plenty of psychologists wit a BA(Hons), careers in the humanities, journalism, creative arts, languages, philosophy, ...

The Bachelor of Arts is a multifaceted degree, meaning that it could lead to a range of careers. As was mentioned, the specific career that you could pursue as a Bachelor of Arts graduate depends on the major(s). The specific number of majors offered would depend on the university, although there are usually many majors within this degree. Examples include WSU's Bachelor of Arts, which offers 27 majors, as well as USyd's Bachelor of Arts, which offers 71 majors.

In terms of teaching, it is important to note that teachers need to study an accredited degree in education/teaching to gain accreditation, which is an essential requirement to become a teacher. The Bachelor of Arts is not an accredited degree, meaning that it does not alone satisfy this requirement. However, it can provide the knowledge necessary to teach a particular subject(s). Examples of accredited degrees include:
  • Bachelor of Education
  • Bachelor of Teaching
  • Master of Teaching
I have also seen people with studies in arts and/or psychology start a career in human resource management. With that being said, HRM is a people-oriented profession. However, it is unclear whether this would be an ideal career for you given your comments.

Alternatively, you could pursue a career in research/academia. For this, you would need to complete an Honours year in addition to the 3-year Bachelor of Arts, followed by a PhD.

I hope this helps! :D
