2y ago Ask TRP
Life Advice (Needed)
Hey everyone. This is probably the most active I have been in the community since I found TRP. I usually don't come to y'all until I have exhausted other options. I will probably end up pasting this again over in trp.red later on today.
I am going into my final year of undergrad and have been dealing with internal struggles about what I want to do for the rest of my life. I went into undergrad a psychology major but got discouraged due to my research online regarding job availability and salary. So I changed my major to accounting and now I am 3/4 done with the degree. It is also worth mentioning that I have already secured an internship with an accounting firm and will likely be offered a full time position post graduation.
But there is still psychology. It has been nagging at me all of these years. I truly have a passion for serving other people and helping others deal with their suffering, because I know how tough that can be. I have been looking into graduate programs for mental health counseling but I am reading the exact same things that I read four years ago and am, again, getting discouraged in possibly making the transition to what I am truly interested in.
I hope I have given y'all enough information. If you feel that I haven't feel free to ping me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Also, I know some people feel uncomfortable giving advice because they can't tell me what to do with my life. I get that, but I know that I won't get anywhere thinking any more about it and I could use the objectivity and wisdom. Thank you.
TLDR: Sacrificing future in accounting to pursue passion in counseling
