I am in my last year of my psychology degree and set to receive a first. I've worked in community education for 11 years in various roles, health improvement, youth work and most recently vocational development for ASN clients. I also volunteer with a LGBTI charity, childline and at a psychiatric hospital one evening a week. So my CV is pretty impressive I guess... However, I'm at a bit of a crossroads and wondering what to do now.
Do I pursue further education in psychology and give up my decent paid career to be a student full time or do I keep on this path and potentially 'waste' my degree? When I started I was convinced I wanted to be a clinical psychologist and do enjoy my volunteering but I'm not sure I can cope with the massive drop in income! Wwyd in my shoes?
