As much as I don't like to admit, I am not too good with communication, at least as of now. However, I am pretty sure I can work upon it and ensure that my communication skills do not become a hindrance in whatever type of psychologist I decide to become.

I informed my parents about my decision to become a psychologist, and the answer I got was big NO. Though their reasons are completely irrational, I understand their concerns and arguments, only partially though.
Psychology is a field which most people think does not yield a good income, at least that's the scenario in India. In even simpler words, you can't become something "big" in a career in psychology. It doesn't pay much. (This is what I have been told so far by my family, I am unsure as to how much of it is actually factual and how much is just an assumption/myth.) One doesn't often here of a child choosing a career in psychology here. It is extremely rare and hence, a bit frowned upon by their parents as I stated.
The above, even though not being completely true, acts a demotivating factor. (What if I don't get a job/make a living out of this once I complete by bachelors/masters? What if the job doesn't pay good?

The reason why I would like to become a psychologist is because I have developed a lot of interest in psychology after reading a few articles about it on the Internet. I have read quite of few things about psychology and it turns out that I am actually like studying it, at least as of now. The study of human behavior and life, how people react and why they do so, interests me immensely.

I am opting for a career assessment test tomorrow which will be followed by a career counselling session(s) with a professional counselor, who I plan to brainstorm with about the potential of a career in psychology.

I would like to get more insights as to how fruitful/not fruitful/financially rewarding/non financially rewarding a career in psychology is in India and globally as of now.
