Should I leave a ₱40k–₱50k job to pursue my dream career in Psychology?
First time posting here in Reddit ‘cause I really wanna read some advice and opinions from the others. I graduated in college last year and until now is nasa iisang work pa rin ako ever since. Okay yung work and syempre ang pinaka maganda is yung sahod which reaches up to 40k to 50k a month since may additional pay kapag nag on-site ka. Pero syempre, here’s the “BUT” — I want to be a psychologist. I really want to be a psychologist ever since; it feels like it is my calling to be a psychologist kasi everytime psychology or brain/mental health ang pinaguusapan is talagang all ears ako. Sadyang hindi ko lang siya na-pursue dahil syempre sa financial problems kaya napilitan ako mag take ng ibang course sa state university na walang ganong course.
My plan for now is mag-ipon muna then probably next year is mag take ng exam on some university (gusto ko sana UP) then ta-try ko kung kakayanin kong pagsabayin ang work at pag-take ng second degree (which I know will be a complete challenge)
So, do you guys have any advice or anything? Kasi minsan iniisip ko baka nadadala lang ako ng hype and thrive kong maging psychologist and because of that is hindi ko nakikita yung nasa harapan ko na dapat mas pinagtutuunan ko ng pansin.
