Psychology is more of a job that you have to work your way up in. Start is usually 18,000 a year...then the longer you work in the field and the more experience you gain, it increases.
As for what you do depends on what field of psychology you want to work in. For example, there is clinical psychology, child psychology, criminology psychology, animal psychology etc... there is so many different strands within psychology which include different things, it just depends on what interests you most.
Education wise...you will need a degree in psychology which is credited by the national psychology degree foundation to be classifed as a professional psychologist, otherwise it meants nothing. They usually ask for a 'C' grade in maths at GCSE level as there is a lot of maths involved because of statistics. A resonable science grade may also be wanted depending on what part of psychology you want to study for.
I study psychology at A level and start studying it at degree level in September so this is based on what I've learnt from studying it.
