You may be able to get a position as a mental health technician or rehabilitation aide. Both of these positions typically provide on-the-job training, although they are hard to find and typically require prior clinical experience. Other options include working as an EMT-B or CNA. A psychology BA is essentially meaningless in the job market, unless you have a considerable amount of research experience or ancillary clinical training.
I have a BA in psychology, and worked as a psychometrist (administering neuropsychological tests) and clinical data manager for an Alzheimer's Disease clinical trial. The pay was not great ($25,000/year), but I received full tuition remission for 16 credits of graduate coursework in public health (about $15,000) and full benefits. Now that I completed an MPH, I am working as a clinical research assistant in a psychiatry dept. at an academic medical center, and make $44,000/year. I will begin med school in the fall.
Bottom line: You have options, but you really have to pound the pavement to find something. Try to pick up some experience through an internship or by working at a lab on a volunteer basis. This will allow you to get some additional "vita lines" and may lead to a paid position.
By the way, what are you doing now?
