I am a 19-year-old international student in the USA. I am going to finish my second semester soon, and I have been going through a midlife crisis. I am doing a bachelor's degree in psychology. I currently work in a research lab as a research assistant. I do want to do a PHD or even work in healthcare, but lately I have been feeling stressed about my future. Everyone around me, especially international students, is doing computer science, engineering, bioinformatics, and other STEM fields. It makes me wonder if I made a wrong choice. I am absolutely horrible at Maths and, to a degree, Chemistry and Physics as well. I was looking into doing psych nursing, but direct-entry master's are too expensive. Till now, I have a good GPA, around 3.944, but I am still not sure what I am doing. It seems that I have my head in the clouds and I am ignoring reality, but I have no idea how to move forward because I really do want to work in mental health. I need some guidance because I have been having mental breakdowns over this.
