career outcomes for BA Psych + Anthropology (1 Viewer)

[Capreicorn]

I recently got accepted into Monash U BA for 2010 and
I am interested in working for an NGO as my ultimate career .

I'm really interested in majoring in Psych & Anthropology (and a minor in French)

What are some of the career outcomes for this combination ??

Is it seriously really hard to get a job wit this ? =[

Depends on what you want to do with your degree. If you want to work in an NGO of some sort and aren't particularly fussed over what sort, location or level of pay then no it wouldn't be that difficult to get into assuming you got a degree with an honours of some sort and relevant voluntary experience. If you wanted to work for a major NGO for pay starting at about $50,000 straight out of your degree then you'd need high honours degree and/or a masters degree in anthropology of development, or development studies etc. Psych and anthropology as combined majors most relate to evolutionary psychology which is a merging of the two fields, so if you recieved good enough honours, masters, phd, you could go into research in that.
