Hi,
It depends on what you are interested in. I am assuming, you have a strong base in the subject. Lot of people who don't have a B.Sc/BA in psychology are pursuing an IGNOU MA. That is not enough.

After pursuing M.A. in Psychology, you will get various options like teaching, career counsellor, forensic psychologist, etc. As per me, you must try to clear UGC NET Exam. UGC NET (University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test) is a test through which candidates are selected for the post of Assistant Professor and Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) is also awarded to the deserving candidates. The exam is conducted two times a year. So, check the official updates for exam dates and start preparing for it. Best of luck.

You can apply for government institutes, if you are looking for a job. You can also pursue Ph.D from various institutions. You can also give NET/ JRF, if you want to teach at the college level.
