Does anyone know where I can apply for a psychology job with just a B.A. in Clinical/Counseling Psychology?

I received a B.A. degree in Clinical/Counseling Psychology and I’m looking for employment that is more related to psychology. I currently work part time at a bank and I’m very dissatisfied with the work because I’m not interested in it and I feel as if it is not remotely related to what I’m trying to accomplish in my career. I realize that I cannot interact directly with clients, counsel individuals, or do any type of psychological testing without lisensure or certification. I currently have a year left before I complete my Master’s degree. Maybe someone knows an agency or a community health center that would hire someone with a BA in psychology to assist with research or clerical duties. Maybe a psychologist is in need of a personal assistant. Does anyone know any psychological agencies, mental health centers, or companies that will hire someone with a BA in psychology? Thanks!

The only thing I can advise is to go back and get an MA in Guidance and Counseling. At least back then I was able to get a job as therapist with troubled adolescents. The agency assisted in paying for added training courses. I worked for 21 years with very troubled young women and guys. The young women had been placed in a locked psychiatric treatment center. 3/4ths of them had been sexually abused. I worked there for 15 yrs., and then went to work with behavioral acting-out guys in a Special Ed Classroom setting. Very rewarding work!!!
