What can I expect?

Hello! I am currently a 22 year old living in SoCal going into my senior year to get my BA in psych. I want to eventually have my own private practice and as either LMFT or LPCC. As someone who dosent have a whole lot of experience in the psychology field, I was wondering how I can expect these next few years to go, what I should be doing and how I should be preparing. I'm looking at a few masters programs and I'm looking into some internships provided from my school for next summer. but I'm wondering where I should be looking for jobs during/after I get my masters.

Obviously this cost of living in CA is far from cheap, and it has me feeling a little worried about the path I chose. From what l've read, everyone's salaries vary significantly (and as a guy who likes certainty) it scares me. I love psychology and would be fortunate to have it as my career, but the cost of living is crazy these days and I wanna make sure im comfortable.

In HS I had this wonderful counselor/teacher and recently she gave me some great advice, but I wanted to get more opinions.

I'm not sure if the questions im asking are silly, but as someone new to the Psychology scene, any advice would be greatly appreciated,
