Need advice about career path : Psychology or mba
Soo I'm an undergraduate in psychology, passed out this year. Since 2nd year I've been doubting if psychology is THE career path for me cos it requires further intensive study and licensure. Ofcourse, i chose this field in udergraduate because i was passionate about it, i still am i guess, its all blurred right now.
I want a job that will pay me decent money, as im an oldest child and in india, i feel the weight of my inability to help my mom ( she's the only one working). eventhough they dont pressure me into providing, i feel really bad that she's the only one working. I'm scared that if i choose psychology for further studies, i won't be able to elevate my family
Now comes the MBA route. When i think of the money aspect, i feel like MBA will give me what i want, will help me elevate my family.. basically im not just trying to live by, i want abundance in my life ahead, in terms of money as well as everything else (ofc, like everyone does). Pursuing psychology, thinking about money feels like a crime idky. But the people around me tell me i have the skills to become a psychologist and it suits me more... And that corporate will suck my soul dry.. I dont have any idea what work im supposed to do in corporate.. It feels like the safer route
what do i do folks? Continue with psy? sometimes i wonder if i really have it in me to be a psychologist cos im not mentally strong at the moment... idk im sorry for rambling on and on but ... Yeah i need advice..
