Since years i have been searching for a meaning to my life .. then i got interest in psychology & now i am done with my bachelors in it last august.. I am very altruistic in nature & very much engaged in solving problems of my classmates colleagues .. People say i work selflessly for them .. & i find satisfaction nowhere other than putting my self on other's service .. there is nothing meaningful in life other than making a difference in someone's life.. Psychology became my passion .. I thought i can make a meaning if i pursue my career in it.. but now, no one in my family supports my career .. My mom is a bipolar patient .. She needs all the time anyone at home with her & she thinks it would be me .. so she doesn't want me to pursue my career .. My other siblings are busy in settling their lives .. And i m totally clueless here dont know what to do .. where to go ..

Its noteworthy that in our side of the world means asia, females career / education doesn't considered to be important .. they are just to give service to family & later husband & kids .. :S

I thought of earning Online Degree in Psychology but i am not surre about its worth .. Will i be able to give service to others through online study? I don't think so .. esp in case of Clinical Psychology which appeals me most .. Other than clinical, which field of psychology can be done online? & what's its worth? Also, i am 24 years old now .. Should i wait for sometime? or just go for online studies?

Any sugestions/ advices related to my career will be appreciated ..
