I have a number of friends who have graduated with psychology degrees. Almost all of them went back to grad school after trying to make it in the working world. The only person I know who was able to successfully get a job directly following her undergrad was a person interested in becoming a probation officer. Because she knew exactly what she wanted to do once she graduated, she pursued internships and other employment opportunities in criminal justice while she was an undergrad. Without those internships, she probably wouldn't have found a job at all--even with the internships, the job she got is one few people would probably take, as it's in an isolated part of our state.
The questions to ask yourself: do you have any work experience beyond your degree that will help you get the job you want? A Bachelor's degree is NOT a one-way ticket to employment in this day and age. You have to have something that makes you stand out--internships, great recommendations, experience. If you do not have any of those things, I think you would be better off going to grad school given the economic climate.
