but what's the point of getting a master's unless you are going into teaching the subject? Employers aren't banging down the door of a master's in psychology graduate mainly because they don't have any actual job skills.

Would there be serious repercussions if I went to a grad school with no GRE

Yes, don't do it.

Why is that? My grades at BYU were so bad, I wonder what difference it makes

The downside would be paying a lot of money and not getting a return on it in

Depends on your career. My buddy was recruited by Target while getting his MBA

It really does depend on the degree and job specifics

What if you were studying Psychology, or mental/behavioral health counseling?

That field has a huge burnout rate

The degree itself isn't very employable. Add in a degree from a school w/ no GRE

Just take the GRE w/o prep. It isn't that hard. Then apply. Grad school is ++
