Psy major usually end up in HR more often than not. You could well put your knowledge to use in recruitment and interviews. I've known some who specialises in the creation of psychology tests for interviews. There are quite a few well known companies that specialises in those.

You could also sell yourself towards brand marketing. Understanding how people think, behavioural incentives etc, could be how you want to market a product or brand. Blatant further studies (e.g. Masters) without going into any job to get experience is a waste of time and money. More often than not, people work first, to get a sense of what direction they wish to pursue in depth, before embarking on further studies. Having prior working experiences help you better understand and appreciate the coursework as well.

Last but not least, many people here do not work in the field of their studies. Have an open mind to try new things.
