      It depends on what company you work for and what position you have- but generally I think it’s pretty well paid.

      This will vary depending on how senior you are, and what sort of area you work in. As a psychologist, you could work in universities, the NHS, charities, or private businesses, and each will have a different pay scale. You can expect that the first job you got out of university with a psychology degree would pay around the £20k mark, but it could go all the way up to over £80k for a really senior psychologist working in some settings.
