Hello,

I have been in this roller coaster within myself for the longest. I know what I like but don't know where to head. I finally moved back to the states, PA to be exact and I am going back to school next year, finishing up my AA to then transfer to a university. My current major right now is Psychology but how vague is that? I don't want to be just a psychologist.

See, my dream is to have a decent paying career and most importantly inspire others. My hobbies involve photography,crafts,music things within the art. But then there's another part of me that likes to help others,mentally..emotionally and learning about people. I even started an online blog that combines creativity and healthcare, I have visions of myself being an artist and in the healthcare,psychology or education field. Writing books for children,helping and inspiring others (but don't know in what career)

I decided that I wanted something that combines both art and psychology and bam! I found it, Art therapist! I love the idea of it, but honestly how in demand is it? I haven't spoken to one person that doesn't ask me "What is an Art therapist" so I don't know if that's a good thing in terms of competition.

Then I think to myself.. an Art therapist is a masters degree, I am aiming for a bachelors.. I am already late going back to school as it is don't want to graduate when I'm 30 and on top of that a masters is money, but my partner tells me I am thinking too ahead.

I'm a mess when it comes to this, how bad do I envy those that know what they want to do and seem to have it all planned..
