what do you actually do with a psych/comms degree

i'm majoring in psych with a minor in media comms at unimelb. i picked it because i liked both and couldn't choose and now i am here, eating a $6 wrap from the union house and wondering what the hell happens to people like me.

i do NOT want to do clinical psych. i know that's like, the whole thing people assume... "oh psych? have fun doing your masters for the next decade lol." or "enjoy unemployment!" well, yeah. not the plan.

i want to go into business or some kind of business. marketing, hr, strategy, consulting, idk. i'm 18 and i have the career clarity of a peanut so take that with a grain of salt. might completely change my mind by third year. probably will tbh.

anywayss, people who did psych, comms, or both, what actually happened to you? i'm not looking for "follow your passion babe" i'm looking for "i make $X doing Y and here's how i got there."

melbourne people especially pls (but anyone is okay), what's out there? be brutal if you have to i can take it
