I finally got an interview invitation for my master in clinical psychology application from all three of the universities I applied to.

It has been my dream to become a clinical psychologist. But now I'm not so sure anymore.

I'm a bit scared and uneasy at the thought of leaving my comfort zone. I work from home, has a decent salary and have ample time to do my own things; overall, I'm living a comfortable life right now.

Previously, I had always been working towards pursing a career in clinical psychology, but now that the opportunity is right in front me, I suddenly feel hesitant.

I'm not sure if I want to give up my comfortable life to walk down a path of uncertainty.

What should I do?

Do it. It's your dream. If it turns out you don't want it then leave and go back to your old shit. Don't waste it in just being comfortable now and hating yourself later for it

Do it as in attend the interview or go all the way to studying and graduating?

if your mind is set on a career like that, do it for the love of god!

and i don't believe anyone will judge you if they can see what you've done for others, or for yourself

Best decisions I ever made were the ones out of my comfort zone. The best part is right after you do it, things become immediately more comfy.

What's your story? I'm interested to know

>>937985892
I've worked in law enforcement my whole life but intentionally always picked the harder jobs
(Like doing the bad jobs at lower pay, and it turned out I got 10x the experience of a normal employee).

I found my soul mate by taking the chance to drive to a different city to first meet her(I'm from the country).
First date, we are already laughing about how the Holocaust is fake.
If I cared what others thought, I would be stuck with a low critical thinking woman from a bar. Instead I am in bliss.

In life, always keep your sense of humor, and your patience.
And 80% of the population is mentally ill anyway (from the sick system they are in). So don't ever do something because society expects it of you.

I'm not a psychologist, but it's a bad idea as a job; also, because of it's constant negativity with clients.
I know a couple of them.
One of my greatest friends was a psychologist and he had a lot of mental problems. We talked every single day for months before I went to jail for a while. When I got out a month later he killed himself before I even got to talk to him...

Work on trying to find something else more enjoyable, unless you're actually mentally stable enough to do it, but you're obviously not.
Sorry.

I used to work for $20 an hour as supervisor.
I took a $14 job with the provincial government, and as a result I got 2 years of experience that some people wouldn't see in 30.
Like going to an autopsy, and undercover weird shit for crime investigations. Then I moved and met my future wife.
The key to life is straight up emotional intelligence, and intellectual honesty. Lock those in, and you can do anything. And self reflecting on your feelings and beliefs is very important. I do it daily.
