Hi, I'm a highschool student considering of doing psychology in uni. I understand that it is a VERY long and competitive process to become a registered psychologist but I'm really fascinated and passionate about it especially in the area of neuro psych. But I'm wondering is the long study and large amount of debt really worth it in the end? - considering work life balance, salary and demand in aus?

Or, considering that the amount of study is similar to completing med school, would becoming a psychiatrist be more worth it in the end?
