I am majoring in psychology and minoring in business administration. I plan to attend graduate school for business administration. I would like to travel. I am interested in making money, but I want a career that is creative, artistic, and allows me to work flexible hours. I do not want to work public relations, advertising, marketing, or accounting. Can my passion for money and interests coincide? Please help!
Wow … you have a lot of interests, but also some major restrictions. My most important advice, I think, is to rethink getting your MBA. I have counseled too many undergraduate students who — for lack of a clear career direction — go to graduate school thinking it will help sharpen their career focus. Or, maybe they are just not quite ready to join the workforce.
I would recommend you talk with some of your favorite psychology and business professors and chat with them about your ideas and goals… they should be able to give you a little more direction.
My advice from my limited knowledge of you? You might look into careers in consulting (though you will need to take more accounting) with a firm such as Accenture, or in international management. Both of these careers can offer you a good salary and travel, allow you to be creative in handling new problems, and provide a good salary. With your background in psychology, you might also consider human-resources management, but I don’t think it really meets you other requirements.
Finally, you might also try a few of the career assessments that we recommend and see if they can give you some more ideas. You can find a bunch of assessments (most free or inexpensive) at Career Assessment Tests and Tools.
