3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I thought, August 19, 2006

This review is from: Great Jobs for Psychology Majors, 3rd ed. (Great Jobs For... Series) (Paperback)

I was disappointed when the book arrived. I thought it was going to list different types of jobs that you could get with a bachelors or masters degree in psychology. Instead, it has an assessment that you take and then explains how to go on a job search. Not money well spent in my opinion.
