I been having this issue for the longest. Well, since I was in high school. Now I am 23 years old and after having three years away from school due to personal reasons, I am in the process of heading back. But, I still don't know what I want to study! I guess I am over thinking it way too much.

I wanted to turn my hobbies into careers, being photography,art,craft making and I am realizing that I don't want to anymore. I will keep those as my hobbies perhaps if I can combine the two some way but in all reality I want to go back to school for something that actually requires a degree. My current major is Psychology but I honestly don't know what I want to do within it. And I am still working on my AA so I have a chance to change it just in case.

I like the fields Psychology, Education and Social Work. I like things like counseling, art therapy, therapy. I guess I want to study something where I can be an inspiration, still be creative and professional. Where I can make decent amount of money and still have time for my family, is that too much to ask for? I am willing to study and give it my all if only I knew what I wished to study. I thought Art Therapy, I honestly thought this was my ideal career, it involves two things I love Art and Psychology but when I read you need a masters and the career itself is not as in demand, I became doubtful.

I am someone that can be in computers for hours, enjoys thinking, helping others, creating, being inspiring but one down fall is that I am shy (this is something I am working on though) and my communication skills aren't the best so this does affect my decisions. But, I don't wish to have a career where I am always working alone and on the computer like I currently am now.

This is the time in my life, the early 20's where it's all about decision making so the decisions I make now will highly affect me in the future reason being why I stress this out so much. Most of my friends knew since high school they wanted to be nurses, in the criminal justice field.. and then here I am thinking about different things and not sure which path to take. And it frustrates me because right now I have all the opportunities, I am able to move around freely (recently moved to east coast) good schools here. Can someone please give me some suggestions, perhaps tell me your story ..

I'd appreciate it.
