Yes, you need a minimum number of credits in psychology to attend grad school in psychology - usually more than a minor, so a major is recommended. Psychology grad programs are very competitive, so you'll need to take the required classes to have a shot at getting in.

A social worker or an associate therapist...I would suggest that you earn a PhD.
2
nothing really. maybe a social worker. most good jobs in psychology require a PhD
3
Any opportunity that doesn't require a phd in psychology.
4
Just go be a lawyer. You can chase ambulances all your life.

In some states you can practice as a psychologist with a Master's degree and after you pass the required licensing exams. Here is the website that will tell you what states you can practice in. http://www.enamp.org/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=4

You can become a psychotherapist. Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy and in some cases (but that's mostly with social work track MA degree) you can become Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Making sure that the licensing board in your state recognizes the degree is essential though.

In most states, you can open your own practice after you have become licensed. This typically involves a master's degree, passing the NCE, and 1-3 years (this varies by state) of post-master's degree supervised experience. ~Dr. B.~
