I'm currently torn between choosing between doing
accountancy and psychology for my university course.
I have a passion for psychology, esp counseling since a young age.
Have been encouraged by both peers and seniors to carry out my
dream cuz they feel i'm talented in the area of undertstanding
emotions. It really satisfies me a lot being able to help others
through their problems.
However, I fear the consequence of not being able to get a steady
job esp in our realistic society if i do not complete the required
phd. I've come to the realisation tat I may not earn enough to
support a family in the future. How to offer proper help to others
if I cannot handle my own life.
On the other hand, I am also very strong in the technical expetise
required in areas, for example accounting. However, my interests do
not lie a single bit in the area of the competitive business world.
Money can be made in this area, but I have doubts my heart would be
able to carry me through.
I've made a temporary choice of majoring in Accounting and taking a
minor in Psychology in NTU. But i'm still having many sleepless
nights becuz I keep feeling tat I am going against my heart.
[b]Anyone who has done psychology b4 please help me clear any
misconceptions that I am having
Esp abt the area of job
prospects. Will I be financially unstable if I dont do my
masters/phd? I also do not have the means to study overseas.
Thanks, your sincere advise would mean a lot to me. I do not want
to make the wrong decision.[/b]
