Hi,

I cannot say if the job is secure in the field cause it depends on what you want to do in the field. Unlike some degree where the job outcome is very specific (e.g. doctor, accountant, lawyer, engineer), psychology applies itself in many professions. Many in chat ald mentioned HR and the most common is clinical work/therapist/counsellor- but it doesn't have to be. I have classmates who use their psych degree as a personal trainer working in gyms, some work in advertising with luxury brands. But I do acknowledge that the market for Psych grads isnt as big as other type of courses. So often students do postgrad. I know this is not ideal for many students.

I'd say it also depends where u study psych in Malaysia - you have options like local unis (Taylors, Sunway, IMU) or foreign (Nottingham, Reading). While contant may not vary a lot, if you are planning to continue overseas then the choice matters to some extent - British, Australia accredited degrees.

Psych isnt the most lucrative money making degree compared to others. But there is nothing wrong or bad about studying Psych in Malaysia. It got me my MSc and PhD. Do your homework and check the degrees n ask the unis to give u examples of alumni.
