Psychology Major Who Needs Help!?

Hi. I’m a 4th year psych major with a minor in Sociology. I’ve read many articles in which people with pysch majors alone or with not-so-diverse minors aren’t finding jobs pertaining to what their degree was intended for. I don’t want to go into Social Work due to my sociology minor so I may change it. Also, I plan to attend a massage therapy school to diversify myself [and to also have a decent paying job so I can pay my way through graduate school]. Can someone tell me what a good option for a minor [that may make me some $ in the future]? And also can I get a list of the top colleges with a great Psychology/Therapy graduate program?

Communications and marketing. Criminal justice and sociology are not bad. Your best option though might be something business related. Though communications is a big plus.
