You probably won’t do much of anything with a psy degree. I have a BA psy and I do IT jobs related to certs I got in jr. college. Only thing a BA psy is good for is going into a masters or phd program is psy, or going into either business, law, or medical school. If you want to prescribe medication you will probably become a psychiatrist. If you want to become a psychiatrist then you don’t need a BA in psy, you can get a bachelors in anything, aslong as you take your pre-med courses and take the mcats, then you go to med school to specialize in psychiatry.
Update:
Here, check out this article:
It lists some things you can do, but it does make clear the requirements to become a licensed psychologist (which typically goes beyond the bachelors level)
Here is an article about becoming a psychiatrist (if you decide that):
