My BA (Elem Educ / Amer & Eng Lit) got me a grade school teaching job (although now a master's is expected within a reasonable amount of time), jobs in retail, a sec'y job with State Farm, two hospital jobs, and a public library job at the front desk and as back-up reference. I now have a master's in counseling psych (MS) and a partial one in library science, both of which have opened up more doors for me. If I were younger, I would get a second master's (probably library science) or an MD for psychiatry. The master's in psych is very adaptable to many different fields.
