Usask law or dental hygiene

I recently got accepted into the dental hygiene program at University of Saskatchewan. Originally, my plan was to pursue law, but I've been feeling really conflicted about both paths.

The main thing holding me back from law is the LSAT and the uncertainty of getting accepted into law school. I honestly don't mind long readings or heavy writing I actually prefer that over science. My original plan was to do a four-year degree in psychology and then apply to law school, and if law didn't work out, I thought I'd at least be okay with having the degree. But realistically, I worry that a psychology degree alone may not lead to a stable or well paying job, which makes the risk feel scary and idk what other four degree I can do that's a bit easy, will land me a good job/pay if I don't get into law

At the same time, dental hygiene also worries me because I've never been good in science, always struggled and knowing it's such a science heavy field makes me anxious. I'm someone who gets very stressed over education and doesn't handle pressure well, so I'm scared of making the wrong choice.
I would really appreciate advice from anyone in dental hygiene, law, or just anyone in general who can offer some advice
