Just so you know, an industrial-organizational psychologist is where I'm headed! I've got a psych honours degree and I work for a large company on the workplace health recovery side of things.

I&O psychs look at psych within the framework of the workplace. We construct selection procedures for new staff. We look at psych testing pre-employment. We look at issues like how lighting affects alertness of staff throughout the day. We look at what psychological qualities are present in effective management, consultants, pretty well anything.

It's all very much about the bottom line. Think HR, but with theory behind it.

Anyways though, workplace health is a big industry. Not my favourite area of psychology - most of what I do is provide rehabilitation to injured workers who have things like workers compensation claims. But a lot of it is about risk management and looking at how psychology can improve a company's bottom line.

So now you know :D
It's like... psychology used for evil. Well, not evil. Just fun and profit.

Just for the record, long-term, I want to do clinical masters and be a clinical psychologist. But the money in rehabilitation and industrial/org psych is very, very nice :) I work 3 days a week straight out of university in an entry-level consultant position and earn enough to get by. Whee!

No I know! I don't think I've ever worked anywhere large enough to rate a psychologist... generally they just threw food at us when they asked us to work overtime and considered that good enough. :P

Er... NOW I know, that is. I cans tipe.

Hehe
Most really big businesses employ psychologists, or should - from a business perspective, it's all about knowing how to get the most out of workers as possible for the least amount of money :P
The company I work for is workplace health though, so we've got a lot of psych peoples amongst the staff :)
